To answer your question: it depends if the publisher of a certain region has the ebook rights and if they do if they want to release the ebook. For instance Stephen King's book were available as ebook in the US for a while before they were released in Europe, same for Stieg Larsson's trilogy and so on.
You could try emailing the US publisher, or even the author, if they have any plans of releasing the novel you want as an ebook. They might have plans to release it and otherwise they will know there is interest in it.
Some ebook stores can tell where you are by your ISP, others use your credit card/paypal details. If you really want to, there are ways to work around most of those restrictions.
