After much scrutiny and a much needed lunch break, I found that the reason it returned false was $thing needed to be the following:

$thing = $object['taxonomy'] . "_" . $object['id'];

My mistake! I was returning the slug of a specific ‘region’ instead of literally the taxonomy/term slug.

I accepted your answer, although there is a typo with a missing ‘}’

Unfortunately, that’s not my result. I’m getting false. Here’s my code that isn’t working. I’m trying to use the WP REST API to return custom fields on a custom Taxonomy called ‘region’ on a custom Post Type.

function regions_get_custom_fields_cb($object, $field_name, $request){
    $thing = $object['slug'] . "_" . $object['id'];
    return get_fields($thing);
}

add_action('rest_api_init', function(){
    register_rest_field('region', 'custom_data', 
        array(
            'get_callback' => 'regions_get_custom_fields_cb', 
            'update_callback' => null, 
            'schema' => null
        )
    );
});
