Unlike Microsoft, Apple appears to use unique regional keys for iCloud, so this risk is significantly less than it could be.
Having said that, that means that the key associated with your iCloud account will be for the region you set when you set up the account— so if you move, I believe your data is still stored in the original region and the key is for the original region.

And some for profit. I’m not sure what this has to do with iCloud security and EEE vs EAR though.

I suppose it’s easier to access the cloud storage than the phone given how secure the iPhone is and with lockdown mode, it’s even harder.
