Some people on Steam-Forums say their problems have been solved and they are now allowed to play their imported games. The usual way to go when something like this happens to you is to contact STEAM-Support.
I cannot verify this (I buy my Valve-games directly through Steam, because that way I am NOT region-dependent AND get the games cheaper than in retail here in Austria), but it seems the last Steam-Update fixed the issue for many.
Actually "Universal Edition" http://www.uemusic.at/noflash_de.htm is located in the EU (more precisely Austria) and would probably drag them to an EU-cortroom.

It is Austria, which is located south of germany (and is a member of the EU), and not Australia.
How the hell did that post get modded "Insightful"? That makes it somehow more funny than it already was :)
