How I can transfer the content of a S3 bucket of a specific region to another S3 bucket of another specific region? Please provide the simplest way and detailed steps if you can.

The short answer is you can't migrate a S3 bucket from one region to another.
S3 Multi-Region Access Points provide a single global endpoint to access a data set that spans multiple S3 buckets in different AWS Regions. This allows you to build multi-region applications with the same simple architecture used in a single region, and then to run those applications anywhere in the world.
Yes S3 buckets are region specific. When you create a new bucket you need to select the target region for that bucket.
Create and attach an S3 bucket policy. Sign in to the AWS Management Console for your source account and open the Amazon S3 console. Choose your source S3 bucket and then choose Permissions. Under Bucket policy, choose Edit and then paste the bucket policy from the sourcebucket-policy.
You can do this with the AWS Console or one of the commercial tools such as Bucket Explorer.
You need to select the files you want to transfer, then copy/cut and paste them into the new bucket. This works for buckets in the same region or different regions.
