I think the post you quoted was about United, and has since been edited by the poster. Forget about region 1 - that is definitely not applicable in the AA world. The upgrades can be used domestically and for some "international" flights - see the list within the text here:

Yes, it would cost 5 upgrades from JFK-LAX.
