Multiple consoles, one game being shared?

[native steppe]

Hello, I own a Nintendo Switch - so does my younger sibling. Now, I plan on buying a digital game(Pokémon Scarlet) soon.

I'm not very well informed, but I think there's something about family accounts or something like that? I wanted to know if it was possible for my sibling to also play the game on their console(with a separate save file) at the same time as me, so we could co-op together.

Also, would the fact that we're physically in different states and sometimes different countries affect anything?

Please @me if replying, thanks!
