Actually, in practice, I believe both AfriNIC and LACNIC (and not ARIN) require requesters to assert, at least during request time, they will be using the address space allocated from the respective RIR free pools in-region.
if you believe in the regional monopoly koolaid, then one can make a case for getting space from a region in which one operates. and i can even see an expectation that it will be used in that region, though not solely in that region. and not with an anyone saying what routing announcements one can make where.
