You are right, you can compile a region in AUCTeX, or export just 
a region in org, but the problem (besides having to select the 
region as compared to a fast C-c C-c C-m) is that the result does 
not have the whole document, just the part you selected, so you 
miss seeing the exported part in context. For example, you miss 
the ability to read before or after in the pdf and use a backward 
search to find the code that corresponds to the next part that you 
want to edit. If you use a main file plus several files in LaTeX, 
the whole document is preserved but the compilation just runs in 
the files with changes, and the backward search from the pdf 
points to the right point in the right file (at least with evince 
it does).

Best,
