Does location choice (when setting up iphone) affect apple id?

So i have an apple id that was created in the United States and home store location and everything was set according to united states and all purchases made was in US $. And this apple id I used to set up my iphone 6s plus when I was in USA.


But recently I've moved to Bangladesh and will be staying here for quite some time. Anyways due to some unavoidable reasons, I decided to factory reset my iphone 6s plus (erase all content and settings) and start everything from the very beginning.


After hard reset I still used my one and only US apple id that i have and used earlier to set up my iphone but when I'm being asked to choose my country/region, should I choose USA or should I choose Bangladesh?


It may sound obvious that I should choose Bangladesh since I'm currently situated here but my question is - if I choose Bangladesh as my country/region when setting up iphone, will I be able to access the us app store and re-download my previous purchases? (I still have US $ credit in my apple id)


Or is it that I can only visit and download from the US app store only if I choose US as my country/region?


What are the implications of 'Select your country or region' ?


Thanks in advance

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.2

You won't be able to switch regions with a positive account balance. You need to have a credit card issued by a bank in the region you are using and a billing address in that region. If you switch regions, you may not be able to download previous purchases if they aren't available in the store of the region you are switching to. You can only access the store of the region your account is set to.
