out_schema_ptr=None would feel slightly more Pythonic IMHO, though that's debatable.

I would propose to leave this as is, to keep it consistent with the other _export_to_c definitions (and the _as_c_pointer helper also requires an integer at the moment)

"""
Export to a C ArrowDeviceArray struct, given its pointer.

If a C ArrowSchema struct pointer is also given, the array type
is exported to it at the same time.

Parameters
----------
out_ptr: int
The raw pointer to a C ArrowDeviceArray struct.
out_schema_ptr: int (optional)
The raw pointer to a C ArrowSchema struct.

Be careful: if you don't pass the ArrowDeviceArray struct to a consumer,
array memory will leak. This is a low-level function intended for
expert users.

Should this explicitly mention the release callback on the struct?

I copied this from the existing docstrings. We could mention the release callback explicitly, but essentially then you are a "consumer". This functions returns an integer, you can't call the release callback on the return value as such. Only when you actually interpret it as an ArrowArray struct, you can do that (and at that point, you are a consumer who should be aware of those details?)
I could also point to the general page about the C Data Interface.

I agree with @jorisvandenbossche that the release callback need not be mentioned here. This is all in the spec.

The default mapper is only allowing CPU arrays, but pyarrow does have a cuda lib, shouldn't we allow and enable importing at least CUDA arrays too?

Certainly, but as mentioned earlier (#39980 (comment)), I was planning to tackle CUDA in a follow-up, and this PR indeed only properly supports and tests CPU.

should we expose the constants in pyarrow somehow?

If we don't use them ourselves, I don't know if that is needed (although it might still be useful for other users of pyarrow.cffi?)
