Yes, this is a standard e-mail that Amazon send you if your apparent location is different to your registered location. Lots of them talked about in the Kindle forum. Amazon have to check these things because if, for example, you claim to be in the USA in order to buy a book, but you're not, then Amazon will be in breach of their distribution contract with the publisher if they only have US rights to that book, and could face legal action as a consequence.
