It is but I think they only have US datacenters.

For backups, media and archival use-cases it looks really good for the price if you can live with it being in the US.

If you are doing any large data-processing using S3 you get the advantage of data locality, with VPC endpoints you can also bypass NAT gateway data charges and get much higher bandwidth.

For these use cases S3 has lower pricing tiers (down to 0.1¢/GB-mo, matched by Azure and promised by GCP).

I think B2 is still only single-datacenter.
