Yes, that's correct re: Region -- thanks for the clarification.
In some sense, yes. But, the consistency that you're trading is only for accessing data simultaneously through the file interface and the S3 interface simultaneously. The consistent is CP/strong when you access the data through the file interface. The model that we see most often work is folks will ingest data through S3 (for example, an 'input/' prefix), and then the file system will process that data and place it in a different directory (for example, an 'output/' folder). Then, if it takes a minute or two for those to update on the other side, it's not a big deal.
