I am afraid that this is not true. The only reason for the different stores are the geographical restrictions.
In the Kindle forum at Amazon (and the Kindle forum here at Mobileread) there are a lot of postings about the fact that since last weekend a lot of people with a Kindle outside the USA cannot buy books anymore, using the known workarounds. They get a warning about geographical restrictions.
It looks like Amazon has made the geographical restrictions much more difficult to circumvent, because of the international introduction of the Kindle.
