im sure apple wants content in itunes worldwide, its not as easy as that, every region has different licencing and distribution etc, as well as different laws, you dont think apple wants to take ya money?
In the US, this is not true. I bought the standard packaging for $12.99 and received the digital copy as well. You do not need to get the SE packaging.
I believe Fox Digital Copy for iTunes is only available on region 1 discs (United States and Canada). Furthermore even if you were to acquire a US/Canadian copy, Apple's support page indicates that it will on activate on US/Canadian iTunes store accounts:
