Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'pubic' specifies the front/pelvic area and 'region' denotes an area of the body, so together they straightforwardly mean the body area near the pubis. This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Pubic region comes from the old word pubic linked to 'pubes', the hair that appears at 'puberty', and region meaning an area. So pubic region means the lower part of the belly just above the genitals, the place where that hair usually grows.
