Unfortunately, it is only for Rome and for Poland (from your article):
As is customary with beatified persons, the feast day will be inserted into the Church calendar of only those places where Pope John Paul II lived and worked – the diocese of Rome and the dioceses of Poland.
The release from CDW also states:
with regard to other local calendars, the request to place an optional memorial to Blessed John Paul II may be presented to this congregation by a conference of bishops for its territory, by the diocesan bishop for his diocese, or by a superior general for a religious family
See the VIS Press Release itself. Or the announcement from the CDW (via Zenit).

I missed that part. Duh. Thank you for the clarification
