Can I perform direct S3 access outside of my account's default region?

Answer:
Yes, but first you will need to enable the region of interest in your AWS account.
For example, to acquire GES DISC data using direct S3 access, you will need to enable the us-west-2 region in your account and then use an AWS service in that region (e.g. EC2 instance, AWS Command Line Interface, etc.) to access the data.
