Let's hope that for this testing phase, SE stray away from their heinous region discriminating policies.

They don't have region discriminating policies. The reason they started with for phase 1 and 2 for the alpha test is because those were the most crucial phases to stabilizing the game. They needed reports and needed to fix the major errors as soon as they could and since most of the actual developers that made the game only know how to speak japanese, it would quicken the error solving rather than having to wait for it to be translated for them.

You shouldn't have to worry about that now since those errors are probably already fixed and if they wanted Japanese players only then they wouldn't have released the application in other languages and would have forced log in to ensure they are from the right region...
