Nope, this is for everyone. Apple is exporting your app from US, so they need this paperwork from you. The only other options are:

* send Apple a paper promising that you will only distribute your app in US and Canada stores, discarding all other markets.

* make your encryption use insecure 64-bit keys.

* make your complete app open source.

* (some other options, such as when using encryption only for authentication)

If you lied to Apple and if US government finds out you export encryption without registration, and if they care enough, they will fine you (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/17/intel_subsidiary_cry...)

Only US citizens are likely vulnerable to the attempts to fine though.
But everybody is vulnerable to Apple pulling your app because it's non-compliant.
