1) "frontier river" doesn't seem to be the best term. See GV results below.
And although C-E dicts say "boundary river", "border river" seems better.

GV results:
"a frontier river between germany and" - 0
"a boundary river between germany and" - 0
"a border river between germany and" - 394
e.g. "In the Versailles Treaty, France received the sole right to expand the Rhine as a border river between Germany and France in 1919."

"a frontier river between slovenia and" - 0
"a boundary river between slovenia and" - 0
"a border river between slovenia and" - 1,050
e.g. "The Natisone is a river that flows for some time as a border river between Slovenia and Italy, ..."


2) Unsurprisingly, various sources say 界河 can be a border river between *regions* (or provinces etc) -- not necessarily an "international boundary".

界河可以指:
1. 跨界河流:通常指用於區分兩個地區邊界的河流,一般適用於國與國層級、州郡層級、地方行政區(縣市或直轄市的區)層級等等,例如:中國東北,黑龍江目前是中俄之間的界河。或,美國中部阿肯色州與密西西比州的界河是密西西比河。
