That is outlined in §7.302
The TL;DR is that the must collect name, address, email, phone number, IP address, and payment information and use that information for "verifying the identity of each foreign customer to the extent it enables the U.S. IaaS provider or foreign reseller of U.S. IaaS products to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of each customer."
AWS already has all of this information on my account.
How does an email correspond to your location?
My email goes through Switzerland and I have a domain address that ends in ".de" am I a US resident, German, or Swiss?
It doesn't correspond to location any more than "name" does. But it is useful, in conjunction with other things, for determining identity, which is what those requirements are about.
