Not necessarily. You can have a PSN account and only use free things - you use it to keep track of trophies, add friends so you can chat and play multiplayer, download any game that is offered for free, as well as access any free apps.
If you want to buy a game, only then you need to add credit.
PlayStation network stores are regionally restricted

NO you can not. A PC Emulator includes a PS2 Bios so it could not be called solely on a computer. Not that I know if you can use it to get on the Playstation Network. Any PC can access the Playstation network that is available for the PC and it is not the online games section that is available, but the support section. A PC could not even play a PS3 game and the Playstation Network would not work with a PC game as they are not compatible.

No Money is never put on a PS3. It is put into your master account for the Playstation Network. You can do this from any PS3 after you have signed into your Playstation Network account. Yes you can as long as your signed into your psn account on the other ps3. The money is saved under your psn profile not the ps3. You never put money on a PS3 and you put the money into your PSN or Playstation Network Account. You can do this from any PS3 that you have logged into your Playstation Network Master Account. You can not move the money from one PSN account to a different PSN account if that is what you are trying to ask. Anyone can input the redemption codes from a Playstation Network Card into there account after signing into the account
