While there's no region lockout, don't you need to pass the logo check?

I assume they mean you don't need to modify the device's hardware or hack any software – you just need to include a blob in your ROM's header (which RGBFIX will automatically insert for you, if you're using the RGBDS toolchain).
Plus, Sega v. Accolade killed that practice. I don't think anyone has tried to enforce it since.
