That's right, at first I thought the JP PS3 was detecting it, but its the disc that's detecting the region of my console. That is why I'm asking for someone to help me out with a save from their US / EU console, from the start of the game, to test and to see if I can play the game with the Western Ratchet after all.
I just hope not many Western developers will take the advantage of this, because I hate it, this is not what I call "region free".
