I don't think that's right, or if it is, OpenRouter has incorrect data. Several Chinese companies (headquartered in China) have Singapore listed as their region on OR. And some companies, like Alibaba Cloud, have multiple regions listed.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, but this makes me think that the region is where the servers are, not where the HQ is.
If you click on the provider name, the panel that pops up shows a "Region" value. Not every provider lists their region, however.
I think the region is just the HQ of the provider. So z.ai's region is Singapore but it's quite likely that their servers are actually in China
