If that is the case, how is it possible I have a DVD that is PAL, but
all regions?

There are three possibilities of video encoded on DVDs. NTSC film (24/1001
frames per second), PAL (film and video 25 frames per second) and and NTSC
video 30/1001 frames per second.

The video encoding is based upon the source material.

Region encoding has absolutely nothing to do with the source material, it has
to do with encryption method to limit sales in various countries.

DVD players sold in the US will automatically play the video on the disk as
NTSC unless they use an HDMI output, where they will may just pass it and let
the TV set figure out how to play it or convert it anyway.

The same with DVD players sold in PAL countries, however most of them
have a setup option to either convert everything to PAL, convert it to NTSC,
or leave it the way it is for a multisystem TV.
