This code is equivalent to
awk '(FS=","){} { print $1"-"$2 }' GeoIPCountryWhois.csv
so I think it is OK not to separate the first line with ",".

AWK seems intentionally changed this behaviour. When FS has been changed,
working line is immediately re-parsed with new FS. This explains
why 8.x awk print *intended* $1"-"$2 though older and GNU ones do not.

Now both are their own feature.
Conclusion: avoid ambiguous code as far as it could.
