Indeed, I have a client of mine here in Europe using part of an IP address block allocated to its American mother company that is listed on ARIN. Looking up the IP address on the registries would let you think it is US-based, which is wrong.
Ips are geographically organised by Regional Internet Registry. Doing a query on the approiate whois database would give you a (say 85%?) fairly accurate geographical lookup.
