They are different physical buildings. OVH does not generally claim anything regarding AZ or distance. SBG1, 2, 3, etc is just denoting the building your server is in - they are not like AWS style AZ or similar, quite literally just building addresses.
I have used them for years and I don't believe they've ever said anything like deploy in both SBG1 and SBG2 for safety or availability, because you don't get that choice.
When you provision a machine (eg via API) they tell you "SBG 5 min, LON 5 min, BHS 72h" and you pick SBG and get assigned first-available. There is no "I want to be in SBG4" generally.
