That is working as expected for "if" inside "location". It's unrelated
to geoip.

Third item:

        # try_files wont work due to if
 
        location /if-try-files {
             try_files  /file  @fallback;
 
             set $true 1;
 
             if ($true) {
                 # nothing
             }
        }

You'll want to redesign whatever you are doing not to use "if" inside
"location" for anything other than "return" or effective equivalents.
