Japan has its own version of the PBA, soI wonder if that's maybe an end-around that OOTP is working on.

This is pretty much correct.
For a long time, FM could not include the Japanese national team for this reason (but you could easily get around it with mods)
There was also a time that they could not include the German and Netherlands national teams.
They eventually licensed the Dutch national team, but still have yet to make deals with the German and Japanese national teams.
Despite having their domestic leagues in the game, so go figure.
