The copy protection you are talking about is the Cactus datasheild protection. These will play in most players however you wont be able to rip the CD to MP3. My understanding is that this is used more in the Japanese market that anywhere else, so beware if you buy from CD WOW. Its does have to say on the box if it has this protection
But staying with the topic of this thread - this data protection can be equally used on a UK mastered or US mastered CD and the CD will have problems in players in both countries.

CDs are not region coded like DVDs
