Is switching region considered smurfing? - Ocean Waves at Sunset

I am a player in Madagascar and I play on Blizzard's EU servers with an average ping of 250ms to 300ms, a ping that I am used to when I used to play Dota2 on Lux servers.

I accidentally logged in in the US servers once, replaying the tutorials, getting Nazeebo in the welcome chest, not realizing it yet at first, until I pressed Ctrl + Alt + F and seen the "Site: US" or something like that. I haven't played online since I know the ping would be disastreous.

But let's assume I dare to play quick match with my level 1 account, considering myself experienced enough to be able to do something despite the high ping (if it allows me to do something though), would that be considering smurfing?
