Laravel Eloquent relationships - user country regions - php

Question

I am using Laravel 5.5. I have a MySQL table implementation that contains
Table: regions
id name
1 NA
2 SA
3 AP
3 ASEAN
The user can create regions and allocate countries to them.
Pivot table: region_countries
id region_id country_id
1 1 1
2 1 2 ....
210 5 1
A country can belong to many regions, as the user can create a custom region, by grouping countries.
Table: countries
id name ....
1 Argentina....
A user belongs to a country, and thus to many regions
Table: Users
id name country_id

My Country class contains:
/**
* Countries have many Regions
*/
public function regions()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(Region::class, RegionCountry::class);
}
My Region class contains:
/**
* Regions have many Countries
*/
public function countries()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(Country::class, RegionCountry::class);
}
So for the User class relationships, Is this the correct way to do this?
/**
* A User has a Country
*/
public function country()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Country::class, 'country_id');
}
/**
* A User has many Regions
*/
public function regions()
{
return $this->country()->hasMany(Region::class, 'region_id');
}
And the reverse, Region class has many Users
/**
* Regions have many Countries
*/
public function countries()
{
return $this->hasMany(Country::class, 'country_id');
}
/**
* Regions have many Users
*/
public function users()
{
return $this->countries()->hasMany(User::class, 'country_id');
}
