Looks that way - sort of:

"Currently a US bank account is required to start a project. This is a
restriction by Amazon Payments, our payments processor. If you don't
have a US bank account and are interested in starting a project, we
appreciate your patience (we’re working on it!). Please note that
anyone, anywhere (with a major credit card) can pledge to any project on
Kickstarter."

A requirement to have to have a US bank account in order to receive
funds is not the same thing as saying the money must be dispersed in the
US only, is it?
