It's only commercial DVDs which are 'region protected'. (A movie bought on a Region 2 disk in Europe won't play on a Region 4 DVD player in Oz). The system is designed to maximise the profits of film companies, as it allows them to sell the distribution rights of their movies several times over.
Home-produced DVDs won't have region protection on them.
