Yes, technically, each of the regions is just a different part of Japan flipped around. Kanto is based on the, well, Kanto region, Johto is Kansai, Hoenn is Kyūshū (and a little bit Okinawa), and Sinnoh is Hokkaido. The exception is Orre, which is based off the deserts of Arizona (though some insist that it's Gunma Prefecture).
Though you're asking what countries do we tend to associate with each region instead? For my PokéVerse, the list is:
» Kanto = America. » Johto = Canada. » Hoenn = Europe (nothing specific since the only time it ever shows up is in passing/to be made fun of, lol) » Sinnoh = France. » Orre = The middle east. » Fiore/Almia/Oblivia = Cuba, because the rest of the world hates them and has an embargo against them. » The Orange Islands = The Caribbean.
I've also got two fan regions that serve as Germany and Japan, but I won't get into those.
The assignments are kind of random, based more on the RP characters that come from each region than on the region itself (I think the only region I actually took into consideration was Orre. The others were just, "Well X Character is from Here and acts like This IRL Nationality, so X Character's region must be That IRL Nation").
