Must have missed this? It also depends on whether the particular model BD player is still supported with current firmware. Which will be an issue with all desktop players at some point in their life, as when BD standards and feature are updated, requiring updates to older players to work.

I purchase Blurays/DVDs from around the world. Even those originating from USA studios, but for marketing purposes are not available here.

These will not play on USA BD desktop players.
The easiest way to get around this is to buy a Region Free BD/DVD Player. Unless you want to watch it on your PC.
There is also some hidden functions and setting in some BD players that make them Region Free.
