Since both aws and awsutils require the region input, the error message from both are the same if the region is omitted. This makes it seem like if the error is raised, the error comes from the former provider when its coming from this provider.
An easy solution might be to add more error context if the region is omitted most likely due to the provider configuration not explicitly configured since awsutils only recently has the region input requirement.
I don't see a custom error message in the aws provider or in this one
The main difference I see is that this provider's region is required whereas the aws provider's region is optional.
Why can't this one be optional too?
Maybe the error is as simple as updating the description of the region input. It's exactly the same as the aws provider so it's confusing. All of the descriptions should contain a reference to the provider.

Perhaps we can set this as optional instead of required and then we can do some custom provider checking if the value is null? Then we can throw a custom error.
