g.region will never change the projection. Ordinarily, the projection
never changes once the location has been created.

If you have lat/lon data and want to use LCC, you need to create two
locations: one in lat/lon, one in LCC. Import the lat/lon data to the
lat/lon location, switch to the LCC location, and re-project the data
with v.proj or r.proj.
