Actually, in practice, I believe both AfriNIC and LACNIC (and not ARIN) require requesters to assert, at least during request time, they will be using the address space allocated from the respective RIR free pools in-region. This has proven to be a bit problematic as this practice appears to be encouraging folks who cannot get address space in their region because their RIR has run out of address space to obtain address space from the ARIN region, thereby increasing the consumption rate from ARIN (not to mention potentially providing folks in AfriNIC/LACNIC with a false sense of IPv4 sufficiency that may decrease pressure for IPv6 deployment in those regions).
