what is the default GCP account location?

Just want to understand, Is GCP account location default to the place where the user reside and only resources allocated to project set to specific location like US / Europe etc?

Because in AWS, when we create a account, few of the services like IAM are global and for other services , we just choose from the  drop down menu in the account in console so that this wont be changed frequently when we are trying to build the cloud solution. 

Hence want to check if this same works for GCP also.
