The K4's will be available outside of the US at some point in time. I think Amazon learned its lesson from the K3 launch when sales went fine in the US but there was a real shortage across Europe. It looks like they are selling to the US first and will ramp up international Kindles a little bit later. The only difference between the US and International version is the 3G/WiFi chip but that does require a different production run.
The K4 Lite (Non-touch) keyboard is reported to work pretty well for folks. I have not read too many posts where peopel were very unhappy with it.
