Sample script:
#NoEnv #Warn #SingleInstance Force #IfWinActive Foo ahk_exe foo.exe !A::Send Foo SetTitleMatchMode Regex #IfWinActive Bar$ ahk_exe bar.exe !A::Send Bar When running it, it throws:
I want to apply SetTitleMatchMode Regex only to bar.exe, is it achievable without putting it on top of the script?

I don't understand your script, but the answer is that you don't have to place it at the top. It will affect all following commands until a return.
Proof of concept script:
F1:: MsgBox, This should give 1`nA_TitleMatchMode=%A_TitleMatchMode% SetTitleMatchMode, 2 MsgBox, This should give 2`nA_TitleMatchMode=%A_TitleMatchMode% SetTitleMatchMode, regex MsgBox, This should give regex`nA_TitleMatchMode=%A_TitleMatchMode% return F2:: MsgBox, This should give 1`nA_TitleMatchMode=%A_TitleMatchMode% return To be convinced, run the above and press consecutively F2, F1, F2.
Each key-press starts a new thread, so SetTitleMatchMode is re-initialized to 1.
SetTitleMatchMode is redundant. Your code should look like (I didn't test):
#NOEnv #Warn #SingleInstance Force SetTitleMatchMode Regex !A:: if WinActive("Foo ahk_exe foo.exe") MsgBox, Foo if WinActive("Bar$ ahk_exe bar.exe") MsgBox, Bar
