Can't play in a different country?

I'm currently on vacation in Germany and still waiting for delivery to my home address in US.
Got a code and activated it succesfully. Trying to run Stadia in browser says that I'm in unsupported region.
VPN to my home works fine but the speed is way too low to play and I'm not sure this is even legal to use it.

Saw this note in FAQ long time ago and believed that I can play it in travel:

>Can I access Stadia in any of the 14 countries that are being supported at launch or will Stadia be region-locked?
>Stadia will be launching in 14 countries in November. Games purchased on Stadia will be playable in all 14 launch countries regardless of where they were purchased.

But support chat says otherwise:

So is Stadia games locked to purchase region or not?

@n_o I see you already got a response from your post on Reddit (noticed the same username), bust just to clarify for everyone else experiencing the same thing, support is incorrect. You're supposed to be able to use Stadia in all supported countries.
