No, it has absolutely nothing to do with copyright. It's a matter of distribution contracts. Unlike, say, music, where the major record companies operate world-wide, most book publishers only publish a book in a restricted "territory" - specifically, many books have different UK and US publishers; the US publisher is not allowed to sell in the UK and the UK publisher is not allowed to sell in the US.

Will it be flagged as a 'uk' kindle and only able to access the uk approved material?

Almost without doubt, yes.
