The concept of a multi-region (a geographical location) does not exist on Google Cloud Platform. However, informally some users consider a geographic location that includes multiple regions, a multi-region location. For example, a continent (e.g North America), a country (e.g US), or sometimes a timezone (e.g east, central,west,etc.) is called by some users a multi-region. [1] [2]
On the other hand, the resources themselves can be (deployed) in multiple regions. Hence, we call them multi-regional resources [2] [3].
Furthermore, and per the same document [1], the relation between a zone and region is defined as “ Each region has one or more zones. For example, the us-central1 region denotes a region in the Central United States that has zones us-central1-a, us-central1-b, us-central1-c, and us-central1-f.” Hence, listing zones using the methods in this page [4] listes the relation for each zone with its region. You can also try using the gcloud command on this page [5]. Example output from [4] (note the region link).

That said, I would like to understand your use case, and the end-goal of such an API call.
Thank you
