When you write software, the question "can we just assume" can generally
be answered with "no".

It is acceptable to require a certain region for your AWS resources, but
you cannot blindly assume that to be the case.

If you require a specific region, then you need to request it.  If you
are given a resource in a region that does not match what you assume,
then you need to explicitly handle this as an error condition and
generate a meaningful error message.
