It probably should be; I suspect that it's not because making involvement in porn risky for adult participants (and thereby discouraging it), while not the central focus of the law, isn't actually undesirable to lawmakers.

My understanding is that the US applies it's rules to anything of an adult nature sold into or among the US states, regardless of origin, though in practice applying it to foreign entities with little US exposure is difficult; but certainly it wouldn't be the only law that applies, to the extent it might apply.
