Yes, that is correct. You never use “at” with a country, city, state, town, village, hamlet, province, region, area, county.

I’m not sure that these exclusions are always correct. For a start, we need context and specific examples. I would almost certainly use ‘located in’ for a larger area, such as a country or state or province, but I suspect that there are cases in which ‘located at’ would be idiomatic for a smaller sub-division.

Located at is routinely used for street address, as well as for general descriptive terms such as “the south side of…” or “at the back of…”. There are numerous web pages that use “located at” with village names in both Pakistani and Indian English.
