My family is from Brazil and I live in Romania. I use family sharing so I can use Apple Music from my family account without paying for an extra individual subscription. This is the main feature I am interested in. However, I need to use Romanian apps and I cannot find them in the App Store because my Country/Region is set to Brazil, and not Romania. I cannot change it in the settings because it says:

The country/region for your Family is managed by

Is it possible to use another Country/Region so I can purchase Romanian apps while still using my family's Apple Music subscription?

This is not possible. All Family Sharing members have to be in the same Country/Region.

As stated in this Support article:

Not all content and content types are available in all countries or regions. To share purchased content, all family members must use the same Apple ID country or region.

    I don't want to share purchased content though. The interface makes it look like I can deactivate this feature, but in practice it won't let me. Is it possible to deactivate purchase sharing only for me?

    What if all I want to share is the 2TB of iCloud storage only? Has nothing to do with location...

    It's fairly disgusting that this point is in grey coloured hard to read "fine print" at the bottom of the page - it's very ugly and beneath Apple to do that. I bought the subscription to share iCloud 2TB with my family and now I'm left sorely disappointed with a charge on my Credit Card to boot.

Your Apple ID is only valid for one country. You can create another free Apple ID with a Romanian billing address (and you will most probably need a Romanian payment method, see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202631). You can have multiple Apple IDs. The billing address associated with it determines with store you can use with it.
