Load balancing across different datacenter with different IP address is called GSLB (Global site load balancing) The F5 GSLB product is GTM (Global Traffic Manager)
The GSLB behavior is to act as DNS server for a specific DNS record or a complete DNS zone.
GTM will be able to answer the best IP depending on geolocalisation (Continent, State, ..), nearest DC (hop count, Round trip time, ...) and service availability.
