They tried to get it back for South Korea, Apple said no.
News sites are starting to wake up to the fact that this wasn't a win for Epic.

It’s not hard to imagine why: Epic lost on every other count. Apple will not be forced to allow users to sideload apps, or accept other app stores, or lower its fee below 30 percent.
The lone decision against Apple was a significant one, but it only forces Apple to allow app developers to point to their own choice of payment methods instead of Apple’s IAP — and Epic might not even benefit from that decision unless Apple agrees to bring Fortnite back to the App Store to begin with. That’s yet another thing the court didn’t mandate.
In fact, we’re currently waiting to see if Apple will cut off Epic’s developer account for Unreal Engine, too. When the ruling takes effect on December 9th, it will also end a preliminary injunction that kept Apple from doing that.
