I think this is reasonable.
I personally prefer that the ultimate responsibility still relies on the WCA Delegate(s) of the competition.
Just to point a different situation: in Madrid WCA Dues are usually handled by the Madrid Association instead of by the Spanish Association, while the officially recognized is the last one.
Edit: this is no longer the case. Right now, the Spanish Association handle the WCA Dues and then the Madrid Association pays them. Actually this is probably the best way to handle WCA Dues for every region that has a Regional Organization.
Resolved in latest update
Seeing the updates to the Dues System Policy (v1.2) made me think of additional detail that could be added to the policy to reflect how WCA Dues are handled for regional organisations.
2.1 makes it clear that the paying of the dues can be done by an organisation, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the WCA Delegate(s). In practice, Speedcubing Australia Inc. is invoiced for all competitions that take place in Australia - this works extremely well as a system and suits us!
Personally, I think it would be good if the role regional organisations can play is recognised in a later version of the policy. Responsibility for payment could ultimately rest on the regional organisation itself, so long as it is recognised by the WCA and has approval by all the region's delegates to act on their behalf in financial matters.
