"Confused" :-)

What Colin said.

The Ubuntu installer asks you what language and keyboard layout you want.

It picks the region settings automatically; it tries to work out the
nearest city and so your time zone (I think, from your IP address) and
then asks you to confirm it. According to what you said, it sets the
region.

I am British but live in Czechia, so I get UK English but Czech dates,
number formats, etc. It's a little annoying but most people probably
do live in their native countries.

You can go to Settings / Region and Language and pick whatever region
you want, and optionally apply it to all new accounts created from
then on.

Without knowing what desktop you have, I can't be more precise, and I
am on a Mac right now, not GNOME, so I can't easily check, but it's
not difficult.
