Doesn’t Xbox let you change your console’s region in the settings?

Never tried. I’m a ps guy now, but the point is that there shouldn’t be region codes to begin with.

Anywhere I’ve ever seen a region code to be changeable you only get to change it a certain number of times before you get stuck in a region. This is why you’ll find TBD players that have been firmware flashed to be regionless.
