Possibly. As explained clearly in the support document you posted from, purchases from one region may not be available in another region, so anything not previously downloaded to an iOS device or computer may not be accessible after the region change is done.

From Change your Apple ID country or region:
Redownload your apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books on any devices that you might use to play or read them in the future. That's because some types of content might not be available in your new country or region. (Learn what types of content and services are available in your new country or region.)

Downloaded purchases will remain on the device and should continue to be accessible.
