Can AWS Lambda be used in conjunction with services in other regions?

I'm interested in using Lambda for a few projects I"m working on, however it's not available in the Asia Pacific/Singapore region we're hosting our stuff in.

Would it be possible to set it up in, for example, the US-West region (Oregon) and then get it to interact with infrastructure in other regions such as SNS and and a couple of SQS queues?

You can use API Gateway to create an endpoint for your Lambda Function and call it from any Region (or even from outside AWS).

Or, according to this answer (AWS Lambda & SNS: Invoke Lambda cross-region) you can create an SNS topic in your region and subscribe to it from your Lambda function and that should work.
