Yes it is the IP. Google has associated the European IP with my real location when it got it from Chrome. See what google wrote about location detection by IP:

We're continuing to improve our location detection technology, and the automatically detected location may be less accurate in certain areas. If you notice an incorrect location, please set your location manually by following the instructions below. If you're being redirected to a Google domain that doesn't match the country you're in (for example, Google.com.au instead of Google.com), please let us know; we may be incorrectly detecting your IP address.
Now I know how exactly they improve their location detection technology...

Any other reasons are not serious.
