Is it possible to create an RDS instance in different Region using Terraform (using snapshot of original DB)

Question

I have my production site in us-east-1 region whereas the DR site in us-east-2 region.

We are using terraform to configure the environment but now stuck at the DB part.

We want to copy the snapshots of our DB from us-east-1 region to the us-east-2 region using terraform.
We want to create RDS instance using this copied snapshot in us-east-2 region.

Ultimate Goal --> To create a database in us-east-2 region using a snapshot which is available in us-east-1 region, and all this should be done using terraform.

@HumayunM, yes the snapshot is encrypted and they are in the same account. — vivek, Aug 25 '20 at 05:47

I have not used the following one to cross-region copy but you could use the following.
aws_backup_plan link1 This is to setup backup and used to cross-region copy
aws_db_instance link2 This can be used to create the RDS instance.
