Can you use Family Sharing if you are in two different regions?

I have an account in the US and my spouse has an account in Japan (identified as the Japan region), so can we still use family sharing or does one account have to be shifted to the other region to make it work?

Here's what Apple says:


Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple

"All Family members must share the same Home Country."


Share purchases with others in your Family Sharing group

Share purchases with others in your Family Sharing group on Mac - Apple Support

"To share purchases, family members must be in the same iTunes Store country or region."
