Not necessarily. I believe that the local division has an allotted time to respond to the government (6 months?) on whether they plan to sell it locally within 18 months of the international launch. The R35 GTR only got through because Nissan didn't respond in time, however, they do have the ability to say they will be selling it here down the track, stopping any SEVS arrangements.
Remember that the SEVS process can take quite a few months, too. Need to supply evidence (and have it checked out) by the gov that it's a legitimate special interest car and has a wide fan base overseas.
