It’s a problem with the miss-use of the RIR delegation of a legacy block. The assumption that because a block is assigned to a particular RIR, all users in that block have to be in that RIR’s territory, without actually running a query against that RIR’s Whois database.
I don't think it's an RIR / RIR-related problem, just - as you said - a short-sighted security practice.
Operators that connect to the Internet and then decide "OMG, Asia is evil" are fairly frustrating. This has caused me a number of problems for decades, as AU/NZ are fairly frequent trading partners of USA and I have frequently run into this attitude.
