Heres what i found out for anyone else wanting to know:

When moving regions, if your not asked if you want the automation to stay with the region, you can change this in: Preferences --> Automation --> Move automation with regions.

Also, you have the option not to do this or to be prompted when you move a region with automation.

If you want to repeat just the automation without moving regions: Select the 'automation select tool'. Highlight the area of automation you wish to repeat. Hold ALT/OPTION and drag the automation just like you would do when copying regions.
