Is there any regional variation? e.g. are there more women in CS depts and industry in Asia than in the US? How about Europe?

Yes, and it's mentioned in the article. There seem to be a negative correlation between gender-equality and the proportion of female students in computer science.

My sibling comment attempts to make lemonade out of the problematic fact that there are in fact huge gender parity differences worldwide, with for instance massively improved gender parity in Asia. I'd say that fact pretty thoroughly acidulates the article's assertion about correlation with cultural gender norms.
