Probably a dumb question but I'm confused about that and I didn't find answer on other topics.

I want to transfer all my pokemon from old games (gen 2 to gen 7) to USUM to send them to pokebank then to pokeHome. 

My gen 1 to 5 pokemon are from japanese version of old games, and I don't know what must be my "3DS Region" settings on PkHex. My goal is to put all my pokemon on a fresh save of USUM, a french save on a french 3DS. Do I need to put "France" in "Country", and "Europe" in "3DS Region", or do I need to put Japanese in country/region since they are japanese pokemon from japanese old version ? I can't understand if the 3DS region is the one from the original game the pokemon are from, or the current save. 

EDIT : is the 3DS region need to be the one of the OT (in my case japanese) or of the current owner (in my case french). Does the 3DS region update automatically in game when a pokemon is transfered from a region to an other ?

Thank you !

Console region does not update after it enters a 3DS environment for the first time.

3DS virtual console games are region locked, meaning that Japanese Gen1/2 can only be transported to Japanese 3DS consoles.

I don't understand, if I catch a japanese pokemon with a japan 3ds region on a japanese 3ds game, then put it in Pkhex in a french save, does the 3DS region of the pokemon will still be japanese or it will be french ?

No, it doesn't change. It first entered the 3DS era on a Japanese console. 

Japanese Blue can only be obtained on a Japanese 3DS, therefore it can only enter the 3DS era on a Japanese console. Gen1/2 games cannot be obtained in different regions, and Japanese games cannot trade with international games.

I get that, but a japanese USUM can trade with an european USUM no ? If yes, I can send my 1G/2G pokemon to japanese USUM, then trade on european USUM ? I would like to skip these trades and put directly these pokemon on my french save. Will it work ? 

What about the 3G/4G/5G/6G/7G pokemon ? You talk about 1G and 2G pokemon, but other version will still get the "Japanese region" too, no ? Sorry it's kinda difficult to understand and I don't want to do anything wrong

Again, it will not update the 3DS region on trade within Generation 7. The value is set when it is imported via Transporter. Therefore, it is subject to the region lock restrictions of the console. PKHeX will indicate accordingly.
