That comment I'd interpret as the requirements must be considered in this region; so if the law changes, the requirements still apply, it's just that the code needs to be updated.

Requirements are usually exogenous to the code.

"PCI-DSS requirements apply" isn't adequate in a literate program for the same reason that "must work correctly" isn't adequate. Explaining the relevant requirements in detail is a crucial goal.
