Credit card companies’ censorship of video games is thriving on people’s lack of awareness, Japanese politician says - AUTOMATON WEST

I don't really get how this thing works, but I heard JCB uses their own infrastructure (network?) domestically and just piggyback off of Visa and/or MasterCard overseas. Is it as simple as JCB just saying hey we wanna let people living outside Japan apply for their cards?
What about interac? Could that also work?
