Apple did this exact thing on iPhone and 3rd party stores so I would be surprised if this wasn't already baked into the firmware on the Switch.
I was on holiday on Greece when they dropped the iOS update that opened up third party app stores, so installed it over shitty wifi to see what I could install.
Nope, my account is British, so no go.
Fuckers.
