Cloudflare R2 doesn't distribute files globally. They only cache requested files in PoPs. So then it would function the same as an API behind the Cloudflare CDN.

It would skip the Cloudflare to server network hop that the author mentions being rather expensive for cache misses.

It would replace the Cloudflare to server network hop with a cloudflare PoP to R2 hop. That covers approximately the same geographical distance and results in similar latency.
