Well they are trying to group areas more demographically and politically than geographically.
I wouldn't say that anything has been gerrymandered though. Most of the counties that were put into various regions seem to make sense in terms of the politics and culture of the areas.
It's a very interesting and useful paradigm. Better than the simplistic "red states" and "blue states" that the media likes to use.

I'll agree with that.
It's certainly not 100% right. The northern part of Michigan in which I live is definitely not "Farm Belt", there are very few farms here. It is politically more like Big River, although we're nowhere near the Mississippi either...

I think that is basically right. Southern comfort has a lower black population than southern lowlands, and thus is more Republican.
