Rapid prediction of pressure-driven flow in microfluidic porous media is important for experimental design, tracer-test interpretation, and digital-twin development for subsurface energy and critical mineral applications. High-fidelity simulations resolve geometry-controlled flow but are computationally expensive across large geometry ensembles. Here, we introduce GeONet, a Geometry-Encoded Operator Network that predicts steady-state pressure fields by jointly representing material properties, spatial coordinates, and solid--void geometry. GeONet extends the Branch--Trunk architecture with a dedicated Leaf Network encoding the binary domain mask through multiscale features. The Branch Network represents porosity and permeability, the Trunk Network combines coordinates with local geometric descriptors and random Fourier features, and a gated DeepMixer integrates these representations to predict pressure. GeONet was trained and evaluated using 5,000 PFLOTRAN simulations of heterogeneous Reduced Complexity Platform domains, comprising nearly 30 TB of data. Comparisons with pore-scale Stokes solutions across three geometries yielded Pearson correlations of 0.987--0.991 and $R^2$ values of 0.974--0.982, supporting PFLOTRAN as reference data. Under matched partitions and two-stage hyperparameter optimization, GeONet substantially outperformed a boundary-condition-aware DeepONet baseline. Across three held-out domains, GeONet achieved NRMSE of 0.0381--0.0500, MAPE of 1.76--2.59%, and $R^2$ of 0.9673--0.9822, versus 0.1483--0.2040, 7.81--10.45%, and 0.5658--0.7126 for DeepONet, respectively. On three additional unseen geometries, GeONet achieved NRMSE of 0.0448--0.0676 and $R^2$ of 0.9511--0.9770. These results demonstrate improved accuracy, pressure-range preservation, and cross-geometry generalization through explicit geometry encoding.
