Yes, it is region specific and Kobo stated the places it would be available in the initial press release. I assume Kobo started with them as they are all English speaking nations. Plus the USA . Hopefully it expands to other regions as they sort out whatever technical or legal issues where involved.

We also don't know how Kobo are doing it region restrictions. It could be IP address based, and a VPN would get around it. But, it could also be based on the address you have recorded in your Kobo account.
