Can someone explain why I'm getting into lobbies from other regions sometimes?

I live on the East Coast. Every few games I've been getting into games with killers from Mexico, Brazil or other countries. Also as a killer, sometimes the game keeps putting me into games where survivors are from those regions. One time I even started getting people from Russia. I know this because it was several games in a row where everyone would speak russian in the endgame chat. You can tell immediately that they're in a different region because the game gets very laggy and wonky, get hit through dead hard or sucked into windows, teleporting issues etc. Does anyone else experience this sometimes and why does it happen?
