It depends on the game. UK Stores usually sells ROW keys, but not always...

Well, it does say on the sidebar
"Authorized reseller - Your advantages:
Official licensed keys since 2006
No VPN required to activate or play!
No Russian keys or Steam gifts
No risk at Steam / Origin / Uplay
English support"

So, i'm assuming it prob is RoW?

It's possible. Look at the game's store page, if there is any restriction, you'll find it there.

unfortunately, there isn't a steam store for it...I guess it was removed from steam or something. I went ahead and bought it though, and it did activate..so..yay! Thanks!

Like what the guy above said, differs from game to game, but gamesplanet usually list the regional restrictions, take a look at Castlevania LoS page for example, tells you the game key can't be activated on almost all asian countries.
