Yes, currently those show up in the developer hub because they ready to be 
rolled out when the last bug is fixed on them. We are trying to get countries 
showing up in the developer hub a couple of weeks early so developers have the 
opportunity to select those regions.

Thinking about it, I should make that clearer on 
https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/docs/payments/status, because it 
doesn't show that and it isn't clear from the developer hub either. This is 
something we are trying to address in a few bugs: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902185 and 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909801

We don't have a payment provider who can do payments worldwide yet. So in this 
case we'd be showing a lot of paid apps you can't install. Rather than do that, 
we thought we'd hide them. If you deep link into the app, or access it from 
your developer pages, it should show you the app however.

The search uses the region you set in preferences, that will default to the 
value on your phone. If you are using desktop, we use Geo IP to try and 
determine your region if its unset.
