So if I have a Netflix account in my home country, I can access content from other regions as long as I go through the corresponding proxies? Or do I need an account in each region I'm trying to access?

By merely accessing a country-specific DNS server, Netflix will serve up the country-appropriate selection. You don't need to proxy your traffic through a VPN for this to work. There are DNS services which let you pick which country you would like to appear from and people use this for Netflix, Hulu, and others.

This is not entirely accurate. The way these DNS services work is that they return a different IP address (one they control) for certain Netflix domains. Then they do TCP proxying between you and Netflix to get around the region restrictions.

The former. The accounts are "global" and the catalogue you can access is based on your current IP address.

Thanks!

I wish Netflix would publish their per-region catalogue, so we don't have to resort to (often inaccurate) third party lists.

TBH I think it would be a pain for them as it changes all of the time. I can just imagine the complaints and refund requests because they read that show X was available in their country then it disappeared a week after they signed up. I think Netflix is trying to sell a pool of non-specific movies. But yes, it would be useful.
