Aircraft classification refers to the physical environment that an aircraft may operate within.

For instance sea planes and float planes are authorized to land on water.
Helicopters are authorized to apply for flight plans that end at heliports.
Land Civilian Aircraft may land at any airport that fits their designation.
Same goes for commercial aircraft.

Area of Operation refers to the level of authorization the aircraft has to operate in different parts of the world. For instance the FAA runs US airspace, the Canadian airspace is regulated by the crown. Europe has it's own aircraft sanctioning body, as does Asia. To keep an aircraft up to code in each is a heap of paperwork.

For instance an aircraft in the US needs a STC or TC (supplemental type certificate, or type certificate) to even install a part in their aircraft. In Europe, this isn't as heavily enforced. In Africa, and parts of Asia, it doesn't even matter. Therefore, aircraft that don't meet US airspace requirements aren't allowed entry.

For an example of certification paperwork, look at the Aircraft Battery application guide from Concorde Aircraft Battery. Goes a bit further than the list to replace your car's oil filter eh.
