Yes, won't be able to play. At least they shouldn't unless uplay decides to remove its lock.

did you activate it before it got RU/CIS? what does your account page (https://store.steampowered.com/account/) say? does it list ac4 as RU/CIS version?
EDIT: oh, do i understand this correctly? you can't even preload, while others can? oh man, in that case i guess you're fucked. :(

I'd have thought that's about as likely as Pee-wee Herman becoming the next US president.

Next time, pre order the local version, or wait until release. Don't get a pre order Russian version as they can change. All they can do with those now is ask to get them removed from their accounts and buy a version they can play.

it depends. It was not region locked but it had different item ID on Steam Store than US/European copies. In such a case there is always a risk that locks/restrictions may be changed over time. But if you even get a preorder for an item that has the same item ID in RU as in other countries you may feel pretty much safe that it won't get any locks etc, as it's basically indistinguishable from copies bought on west.
