True but if we're talking USA, Piedmont is the name for a region of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. The Piedmont Triad of NC is probably the best known "Piedmont" in the US, since there's a major airport with that name.

There are thousands of regions, cities, towns, etc. in the US named after European regions, cities, towns, etc. If we go by that logic anything that exists not just in Europe but also in North America couldn't be used in these kind of quizzes. It should be obvious that the well known region in Italy is meant and not some random region in Virginia only because some Italian settlers named it after their home.

pretty sure the Piedmont region of Virginia is not named for the Italian region, but rather because it is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

In that case, wouldn't it be called something like Foothills, VA? Unless those who named it were Italian, of course, in which case, erm, they might name it after/for something back home. Possibly. I don't know. Just a suggestion. Do you know?

Well a ton of the people who were early settlers/explorers/colonists/cartographers/surveyors in North America did not speak English, but even amongst those who did, naming something in French, Italian, Spanish, Latin or Greek (or indigenous American languages) was a pretty common convention. Anyway I'm not guessing here. The three historical regions of Virginia are Tidewater (coastal plain to the east), Piedmont (foothills between the other two regions), and Blue Ridge & Appalachia (the mountains to the west). Though sometimes the regions are further subdivided. All were named for geographic features of the state, not as an homage to regions of other countries.

Also the dictionary apparently defines piedmont as an English word meaning foothills. Wikipedia identifies the origin of the US region as being derived from Latin.

Mato Grosso is a political state in Brazil, but is not considered as a region.

It should be better Pantanal, Amazônia, Sertão, Campos Sulinos...

these are regions limited by its own similar characteristics, and not merely a political division.

Um...What about of the Mato Grosso do Sul? I think the creator of his quiz thought of the two Mato Grosso: Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul

And I don't disagree with what you said. It's true, Mato Grosso is a state in Brazil, not a region and I say that because I'm also Brazilian

Cork - on its own - is a city in County Cork. Most Irish counties are referred to in this way, because many of them are named after towns or cities within them. The same thing also happens in the UK: you might live in County Durham, but not necessarily in the city of Durham. So, you need to actively use the "County" part of the name so as to specify.

Lille actually is in the historic region Flanders, even though the French part of that region doesn't administratively exist anymore. However, that's just some interesting trivia. I think it's pretty clear that the quiz is referring to the better-known Belgian region.

Siberia, administratively, isn't a region of Russia, unlike many other examples of this quiz. I believe Yakutia or Kamchatka might be much more in line with other regions on this quiz. Also might be just a little bit harder, as almost everyone got Siberia on this quiz as of now.
