Yep - it's unfortunate that the term "Datacenter" in vCenter was picked (albeit a looong time ago, before this cloud stuff was around). The term in vCenter context is just a logical grouping of uniquely related inventory objects. A good analogy for a vCenter datacenter is the "organizational unit (OU) in Active Directory.
I'm sure (although just a guess) we'll see a bit of a revision to inventory objects and relationships as virtualization management across geographies matures in future versions of vCenter.
