Yes, I agree with you - any book from an author of a country not yet chosen. That keeps it fair between countries since the list is made from every selection so far, and those include every type of book. For instance, Canada is ineligible because of two authors, yet one book wasn't much about Canada with a main character from another country and a large part of the book set in other countries and the other book was a history concerning the Incas. In practice though, my guess is that because of the category many of the nominations for Journey may have somewhat country-related subject matter, but you never know!
