Porsche has currently designated all left-hand 2.0L Macans for the Chinese market due to immense demand for that vehicle there because of its heavy taxation on engine displacement. That's why the only other markets that presently have access to it are right-hand, markets like Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the United Kingdom among others.
Since Porsche will have moved some Cayenne production to Osnabrück in Q2 2015, that should relieve some pressure on the Leipzig production facility and allow them to build more Macans for other markets. Leipzig also has the option of expanding Macan production from 50000 units to 80000 a year, so with the Cayenne out of the way, they can start pumping then out by the shipload. My guess is that they should also have other variants [Macan Diesel/Macan GTS/Macan Turbo S] out by then.
Whether we like it or not, we mustn't forget that the Macan was always conceived to be Porsche's volume seller. It only makes sense that the four-banger will make it to other markets in the not-too-distant future as the car has only been prowling streets worldwide since March/April. All it needs is a few more months to catch up to and outsell the Cayenne.
