Best Answer
The PS4 isn't region locked for digital or disc-based games. Games from other regions will work on any console but this article advises the use of games from the region the PS4 is bought, so in your case, America.
It's also worth noting that the PS4 is region locked for Blu-rays though. Confirmation here.
