Uh...no. While the scenery might resemble Japan, the actual Japan doesn't exist. Dragon Ball Earth isn't OUR Earth:

You could always fanwank the "international" part of that attack by saying that Kame Sennin made it up while the world was divided into various countries.

It isn't canon or rather, relevant to the original source, but in Movie 8, Kamesennin is adressing Kuririn's singing skills as best in all Japan

In the "Golden Warrior" artbook from a couple of years ago there is a photograph of a place in China.
Somewhere in the books notes I think it says that it's an area of the world that Toriyama drew inspiration for Paozus scenery from.
