It’s quite simple from pricing point of view.
Every region can have different price for particular RI, so it’s not allowed to move RI between regions.
AZ are in the same region, price for RI is the same, so it can be moved between AZ

Q: Can I change my RI during its term?
Yes, you can modify the Availability Zone of the RI, change the scope of the RI from Availability Zone to region (and vice-versa), change the network platform from EC2-VPC to EC2-Classic (and vice versa) or modify instance sizes within the same instance family (on the Linux/Unix platform).
