Physical Disc and DLC from different regions?

[Moonpie2]

Hi All

I've had a look around and I can only seem to find confusing answers for this question

My PS4 is the Hong Kong version. No problem there. They're all multi-regional.
My copy of Horizon Zero Dawn also seems to be Asian in origin. Still no problem.

However my 'account' on my PS4 is set to the UK with a UK billing address and UK credit card and such.
But I want the Frozen Wilds DLC. I'm super worried that downloading from the UK PSN store will not play nice with the Asian HZD Disc (even though I play on a UK account)

Does anyone have experience with this issue or have a solid and non-rambling answer?

After doing more research, it seems that DLC is not region free.
Meaning that although I am free to play a HK version of the physical disc in my HK PS4 on my UK account, I cannot download DLC through that same UK account and have it be compatible.
This seems kinda stupid

It seems there is a workaround, if I create a HK PSN account and then download the DLC, and THEN switch back to my UK account, the DLC should be playable.
But that's a lot of faffing around and I can't be bothered with the time or risk.

Poop.... was looking forwards to The Frozen Wilds too.
