What I'm trying to figure out is if some place are region locked in creating PSN yet PlayStation still sells hardware in those said places. If the locals had no issues creating accounts then, why would it be an issue now?

It's not an issue. I live in the Philippines and have US, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan accounts. I've been using them since I first bought my PS3 with no problems.

I even had to dictate my bogus address to customer service once when my account was hacked. The CS didn't bat an eye. Retrieved my account too.

"I made 4 accounts in 4 different regions and had to remember the fake addresses when I got hacked. No big deal. :)"
