Why if I cut a synchronised clip (synced audio and video) and put objects inside of one region, it doesn't appear in the rest regions like if I used a compound clip? How can add an object to all regions in this situation by just adding it to one region?

A sync clip is to combined a single video file with one or more audio files.
A multicam clip allows you to combine multiple synced video files and use the angle viewer to switch between them in the project timeline.
A compound clip is simply a static container. Any changes to the contents means opening the container and then making any adjustments to accommodate the compound’s changes in the project, making the compound longer or shorter. Compounds are really most useful for combining clips to create effects, otherwise it’s quite a clumsy tool.
Instead of a synchronized clip try using a multicam.
"Any changes you make to a multicam clip in the angle editor are inherited by all of its child clips, in all projects."

You can't do what you want in. a sync clip I'm afraid.
Normally the background layer is placed underneath the keyed sync clip. The sync clip container is designed to hold one video clip and one or more audio clips.
Not sure how you were able to put these layers of video inside the sync clip. As Tom said, it is meant for one video and one or more audio clips, not multiple video clips.
But try this:
1) Select the Sync Clip in the browser and try Clip->Open Clip.
2) In the Sync Clip timeline, insert the object in question.
3) Step out of this timeline, and try to playback the Sync Clip in the browser. Does it work as you expect?
4) If the previous steps succeed: select one of the sections in the timeline, and press Shift-F. Drag the selected portion in the browser over that section in the timeline. Choose Replace.
If that part is working as desired, repeat this process for each of the other parts of the clip in the timeline.
Not the B, the A.
What Tom said. ;)
It also depends on what you're trying to achieve. Hard to tell from your brief description. If you post screen shots we might be able to help you decide.
I have a long synchronised clip on the timeline with a lot of unnecessary parts cut out, so there are a lot of splits.
Please post a screenshot of the timeline. Still not clear why you want to add content to the sync clip. Normally any B roll is added as connected clips.
So you want to add back content that you've cut out?
Or have you opened the sync clip and started to edit inside the sync clip container?
No, I wanna put an object inside the synchronised clip across the whole length and make it appear in all the regions. Like I said it works with a compound clip but not with a synchronised one.
That’s correct. A synchronized clip is not a compound clip. What kind of object? A still image, a logo? Put above the video as a connected clip and stretch it out for the length you need.
No, I have layers inside that clip – a background and me keyed out. The object has to be in between.
