Seeing a movie star in LA is like seeing a hawk in the forest. Not all that common as they value their privacy, but altogether not unexpected at all.
As for distant location shoots... Again, not uncommon these days. It used to be that it was less expensive to simulate locations in a studio. But now? Tourism commissions of various cities and countries have twigged to the fact that location-shoots are massive revenue generators - not only during the duration of the shoot, but also forever afterwards as people love visiting these places if the film was successful.
Therefore, studios get all kinds of tax breaks and other stuff just for coming to film on location. And modern technology has made filming equipment that can handle being exposed to the elements much more affordable.
Sooooo yeah. Unless she's going someplace isolated like the Desolation Islands or Rapa Nui...
EDIT: Also, knowing where on-location filming is going to happen before the actors even sign the contract is (to my knowledge anyways) usually very privileged information, as they don't want the locations to become unmanageable with a sudden surge of tourists or even people trying to score their fifteen seconds of fame.
