It`s a relative clause: the many different territories [where] Nintendo distributes its products, is the clause and `requirements` and `regulations` are about that clause. So the entire thing is important. It is not just different territories where products are distributed, but specifically Nintendo based ones.
Maybe it is just bad wording on Atlus's part, but including Nintendo in their statement in that manner is making Nintendo an important piece of info. If it really didn't matter then there would be no reason to even mention them:
Any changes made to the in-game content were due to varying requirements and regulations in the many different territories the product is distributed.
Now that makes it a lot more obvious that it is about the rating systems of different regions. What they said doesn't. So if ppl wish to read it as Nintendo being involved then they can. Nothing really says otherwise.
Unless my grammar understanding sucks. In that cause I apologise for this post being inaccurate.
In case it was unclear, they refers to Nintendo as the publishers.

You are nearly correct. You are comprehending a little wrong. This is a reltive clause but you have an independent clause and a dependent clause conjoined by the subordentor [where]. The indendent clause here is "Any changes made to the in-game content were due to varying requirements and regulations in the many different territories".
The dependent clause is "[where] Nintendo distributes its properties". This clause is used to help flesh out the sentence by answering the question of where these territories are. And in this case these territories are where Nintendo does business.
Going a little further the requirements and regulations are attributed to the territories, or better worded as the territories' regulatory bodies. Much like the word [where] was obmitted but you can tell it needs to be there because it modifies territories. You can infer that they mean a reglatory body because we are talking about someone who can make requirements and regulations for the territories.

This is basically what I way trying to say, I just worded it poorly.
