Reads to me like

"We are now able to reach your handset even if you are oversea, and we are definitely going to charge the socks off of your account for every millisecond you spend over there. Good day, sir"
 
If you asked for that service, then you'd get that message. Otherwise, I'd call AT&T.

For example, I called AT&T and had that feature added, so I could use my phone while in Europe.

I did a while back. My account was prohibited from making international calls for a while because I had late payments, and I got that message one day when they decided to allow me to make international calls again. I think I received it again for no reason as well.
 
I called them and asked

I just got that message out of the blue, so I called AT&T and asked them about it. They said that it doesn't mean anything's changed, they just send the message out to people so that they're informed about what the phone can do.

However, I will certainly agree that poorly worded message implies that you requested that they enabled that feature.

I am guessing you are hoping against all odds your phone was magically factory unlocked. It was not and cannot be without iTunes.

If I misread your dreams, disregard this post. :p
