I'm not sure what you mean by "pertinent"? DVD regions include a lot of different countries which get distinct releases. The UK and Japan are both region 2, but it's still pretty pertinent to know whether a given region 2 disc was intended for the UK or for Japan.

I take it though if it's an English language movie the one meant for the UK market would have covers in English with foreign subtitles on the movie, and one meant for the Japanese market would have covers in Japanese with either the movie overdubbed in Japanese or have Japanese subtitles. Also if I buy a USA DVD (Region 1) or Blu-Ray (Region A) I still enter the country as USA because i'm basically importing it to the UK.

Yes, that's generally how it works. But the issue is when you get a DVD with multiple languages on the cover, because it's intended for sale in multiple countries.

For example: https://i.imgur.com/ih6W74n.jpg

This has a synopsis in four languages, ratings according to four different national systems, and down in the small print there are four different distribution companies.
