Sanctions compliance is unfortunately fairly complex.

Let's Encrypt can issue certificates for non-government entities in Iran and Russia due to statutory exemptions protecting personal communications, alongside specific Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) authorizations designed to promote Internet freedom and human rights.

I wonder what "ordinarily resident" means legally. Like has a permanent address there, even if they don't live there physically..?

Yes. If you are, for example, even a US citizen, permanently living in Crimea, you are still subject to limitations, imposed by sanctions.
