Cost of reading from mulit-region US bucket via US GCE VM with external IP

If I have a VM with an external IP in say region us-east1-*, that reads data from a multi-region US bucket, would that **read operation** (GCS read operation and networking only) be free or count towards "Download Worldwide Destinations" (due to External IP).

Google doc seem to suggest it's free, but on the other hand this medium post seem to suggest otherwise.
