Not really. The thing to remember is that this will not prevent "visitors" (people, bots, etc.) in those regions from getting to your site. In the case of a site being the target of malicious or potentially malicious activity, not displaying the site in the results does little to nothing.

All this does is help Google. Not neccessarily a bad thing but does not address the problem.
