Well it’s the region where the infrastructure (servers) are physically located. Many services and websites aren’t going to pay to replicate their servers in all possible AWS regions. Big companies will do that. Smaller companies may only have their servers in one region. It’s cheaper. So if a service or site you use chose only that particular region for their server(s), you will not be able to access their service, regardless of where you are physically located.
