I heard somewhere that if you get 160 marks or so, you can get regional distinction.

It doesn't work that way. You get distinction for getting the highest marks (or second highest marks) in the world, in the country or in your city.

They have set grade thresholds beforehand according to the difficulty so I heard it's 160 marks this time

The thresholds are set after the papers are checked depending on how the candidates performed. And the distinction is set according to the highest marks, it could be 100%, 96% or even 92%.

Nope it's beforehand. 160 marks is for IGCSE this time so GCE is probably around 162-165
