It would help but you're still then restricting servers within that region so still have the chance to be kicked. As far as I am aware it's just Fortnite that does matchmaking like this. 

Yeah I think it does work different, I don't think there is a 'host' necessarily when you join up together, it doesn't seem to care about splitting the party, had that quite a few times without the Geo-Filter

The way Fortnite works is that it only tries to connect to a server when you're actually loading into the game and so that is the only time it can be blocked so you are kicked back to the lobby. For Fortnite it's best to disable filtering mode but still use it to find out what server you're on, if it's too far away then you could quit and re-search until you find the server you want. This would actually be quicker than letting the Geo-Filter kick you.
