The photo's are from a NA account. That's the NA plaza, even has the Ford building in the background, plus the account name in one photo is Esther_USA, and from the description in the announcement, it sounding like the Killzone 3 invasion event. Which was a NA promo, but EU also got a space that was a copy of our CP. This sounds like it'll either be EU exclusive or EU gets the in Home order promo, and NA gets the event game, or maybe EU was able to work it out so maybe both NA and EU will get the in Home preorder game bonus.
"Deep Silver and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today that shortly before its release at the beginning of September, the zombie outbreak from the highly anticipated game Dead Island will also spread to PlayStation®Home, offering players an exclusive opportunity to further deepen their Dead Island experience through Home’s Total Game Integration campaign.
Terrifying zombies will lurk in the once peaceful Home Square and soon enough it will come to resemble the Royal Palms Resort on the tropical island of Banoi, with palm trees and beautiful tropical vegetation, a gorgeous beach and stunning view of the ocean, bringing the unique Banoi feeling to PlayStation Home visitors.
A Dead Island themed mini game will be available to PlayStation Home visitors in which players must prove their skills in crafting items and pit their abilities against attacks from a rampaging zombie horde. Just like the co-op mode in Dead Island this mini game can be played with up to 4 players in different play styles. In all, there are 10 mini-game challenges associated with the game users completing all 10 will be awarded with an exclusive in-game weapon “Exploding Meat”.
For a bit of relief players can have their photo taken with a zombie or take a zombie survival survey where they can prove their knowledge of the undead and earn 4 free PlayStation Home rewards. At the end participants will be rated with their estimated chance of survival in a real zombie apocalypse.
Certain items in the PlayStation®3 system version of the Dead Island will only be obtained through this PlayStation Home event. Each week will introduce more levels and unlockable content including a premium PlayStation Home reward “Exploding Zombie Outfit” for players that pre-order Dead Island directly from Home Square and the aforementioned “Exploding Meat”, a powerful weapon for use in Dead Island that can only be acquired by surviving the PlayStation Home onslaught.
PlayStation Home users will also be able to pre-order Dead Island through a themed kiosk directly from the Home Square."
Edit: Also is it just me, or does Dead Island sound a lot like Dead Rising only Island themed? lol

Ok, can confirm NA is included, found on the Dead Island website. deadisland.deepsilver.com/blog.php?page=2"Mysterious zombie apocalypse spreads on Central Plaza in PlayStation®Home! Deep Silver and Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) announced today that shortly before its release at the beginning of September, the zombie outbreak from the highly anticipated game Dead Island will also spread to PlayStation®Home, offering players an exclusive opportunity to further deepen their Dead Island experience through Home’s Total Game Integration campaign.

Both were posted on the same day so my guess is AZ4 got the EU news flash and Dead Island's website got the NA news flash.
