When we go to S3 in AWS console in "Global" option it shows 

"S3 does not require region selection."

But when we create new bucket there it asks for Region !

So are S3 buckets region specific ?

The user interface shows all your buckets, in all regions. But buckets exist in a specific region and you need to specify that region when you create a bucket.
