Automatically detected location
To provide you with the most relevant results, Google attempts to automatically detect your location and customize results based on that detected location. A location that's labeled "Auto-detected" is chosen based on the following factors:
Your IP address .
Google Toolbar's My Location feature. If you have Google Toolbar installed and have the My Location feature enabled, your approximate location (if detected) will be used to customize your search results. If you don't want Toolbar to attempt to determine your approximate location, you can turn off My Location
See the wrong location?
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.
This basically says, they log your IP, and try to figure out where it's coming from, so they can show you custom results. So EVERY IP, is attached to location, correct or not.
They even say they'll manually adjust it if it's wrong... it's 100% based on your IP, and them 'attempting' to figure out the location of EVERY IP that visits them - for the purpose of regional results.
