Yes, you can use SES from another region. It might be possibly be slightly more expensive since you will incur some region-to-region bandwidth charges that might otherwise be free (not 100% sure), but I suspect unless you have a huge quantity of emails, the extra cost won't amount to much at all.

But bottom line is, yes, you can combine services from multiple regions into a single solution.
