That's correct. Each distributor sets their own prices and policies.
Usually a distributor is not allowed to sell into another distributor's
region but I suppose they are free to impose those restrictions on the
dealers as well. It's likely a result of complaints from other dealers.
I'd find it astonishing if the UK prices were subsidising the USA ones.
