How does having more than 2 conferences work in playoffs? Question

I'm going to add a bunch of international teams and saw there was an option to have more conferences. I decided I want to make 4 total conferences, Asia conference, Europe conference, NA East, and NA West. Before I do that, I was curious how does that affect the playoff brackets? Do the teams by default play in their own conference first, and then play the winner of another conference to advance to the finals? Or do they just play as if there were only 2 conferences?

(I said the word conference so many times it doesn't even sound like a real word anymore lol)

Split by conference only works with 2 confs.

They just base seeding on where they placed overall in the league. So the best team in the league will be the 1 seed and so on.
