I'm still confused, can someone tell me if it's a timed exclusive or not? Some people are like "exclusive in NA and timed exclusive in PAL." Makes me confused :

If I understand correctly, Sony is now the game's publisher in the PAL regions. Presumably as compensation, Atari will be pushing back the 360/Wii versions in the PAL regions until later in the year. North America is not affected.

So Sony Moneyhatted?

In a way, but they are publishing it themselves.

There was still almost certainly a tit-for-tat though, since Atari is pushing back the non-Sony platform versions. Considering how closely related those are to the PS2/3 versions, and that Atari is moving forward in N.A., it appears that Sony of Europe is coughing something up.

What I can't figure out is what, or why.

It most definitely is a tit-for-tat, but most moneyhats don't include that company publishing it. Just the odd delay of every other version.
