yeah I think for the most part, they release the game in Japan when it's finished and then they translate/regionalize it for NA after that. A good reason for that is basically NA sales ar huge and they don't want to ship an "engrish" game or something like that that would detter fans from buying it.
The good thing is, that along the way there can be some pretty significant bug fixes and/or add-ons that we get in US that the japanese have to suffer with.
