These zones are just for faster rendering. They let the engine know which things are in what areas so it can not render them if they're not seen. They're set up automatically by a properly portalized interior.

Firas,
Setup triggers inside of the room that you want the player to be in when the monsters are released. Have the trigger activate a door or make a function call to unleash the monsters.

The zones are for rendering - may not relate to rooms or anything else that makes sense from a gameplay perspective. Though it might be interesting to try to expose them to scripting and see what you get... You'd be on your own for that one, though, Triggers will work quite well for what you _need_. :)
