The DVD zones apply only to video DVD's intended to be playable on a regular DVD
player. Computer DVD's are just like any computer storage, with files,
directories, etc -- they are readable on any computer DVD reader.

Btw, even video DVD's are actually computer DVD's with a
file structure, which you can browse if you insert the video DVD in a computer
and inhibit the automatic playback of video DVD's in the computer. To be
playable on a regular DVD player, that file structure must contain some specific
files in specified format. This is quite different from music CD's which
completely lack any CD-ROM file structure.

And even for video DVD's there are "Zone 0" DVD's which are playable on any DVD
player everywhere in the world. One example of such Zone 0 DVD's is the old TV
series "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan, which now is available on Zone 0 DVD's:
