You can't own an S corp unless you're a US resident (citizen or GC holder).

You can also be the sole member of an LLC, which is sufficient for having a U.S. bank account and doing business, if you're not looking for VC funds. Real estate agents deal with these kinds of LLC setups anytime for foreign real estate purchases.

But you can own a C-Corp, which is what a venture-funded startup needs to be

Agreed, but not every single new business is focused on raising VC capital

Why does the company even need to be registered in the USA?

Actually, the requirement is that you area tax resident. Similar but very different.
