PS4 DLC code and region
I'm looking to buy the Rocket League Collector's Edition- I already have the base game, I just want the DLC codes which come with the Collector's Edition.
My PSN account is Brazilian but I'm currently living in Japan, so I wanted to buy the game at any store here or on Amazon US... My question is: If I buy the game, will I be able to use the DLC codes in my PSN? Will it cause a region lock since my account is Brazilian but the physical version would be American or Japanese? Thanks

From here,
As far as games are concerned, any game bought from any country will play on any console.
As far as accounts are concerned, any game bought from any country will play on any account registered to any country.
Psn codes are locked to the country they are bought from, and MUST match the country of the psn account.
DLC is region locked, and must match the region of the psn account, AND the region the game was bought from.

DLC means Downloadable content for a game. It is a map or extra contents in addition to a full game but not a full game itself, which means for DLC to work you would need a full game. Usually They're not region locked in the normal way. The DLC is locked by the region of the game, not the system.PS4 Games Tips : Not able to Redeem DLC Codes? How to Make it Work?
