A comment made in the EU forums has cleared up the confusion about LittleBigPlanet’s region locking. According to the SCE developer, all downloads will be shared worldwide, the differences between regions are on how moderation will be handled. They have worked around these issues, thus only having one region. 

Hi all, as many of you may have heard already in an interview at Leipzig the senior producer for LittleBigPlanet announced that the game is region locked. This is in fact not the case, and all shared levels in the game will be available worldwide. The confusion arose out of regional differences in how moderation will work as there are different legal rules each region have to play by, and at one point this looked like it may require the game to be independent in each region – however this has been worked around and there will only be one region for the game…. a LittleBigRegion.

Apologies for any confusion over this issue, however I’m pretty sure you’re happy with the result.
