That page simply notes that you can check the location of recent
accesses, including those flagged as "suspicious". It says nothing
about such accesses being blocked, and if they were blocked I would
expect to be notified of the same by email, which is what Google does
for any security-related event.

I frequently used Gmail from all sorts of places, including public
spaces, friends houses, on my mobile devices, in different countries,
etc. and have never seen a blockage of this kind.
