Not sure if every PTR has this as a placeholder mount, but I've never seen this before so I'll assume it's new.
I went on the in-game pet store on the current WoW PTR and found.. this
I'll let the picture speak for itself.

Kinda annoyed since it was a reward for the Annual Sub. Now anyone can get it? Blargh
Doubtful, seeing as a blue post earlier today said that they only offered it on the store for other regions that didnt have the annual pass option, therefore chances are it wont actually show up on the US/EU servers for sale.
Edit: Blues post about the mount:
The regions are separate ecosystems, and availability of items within one region vs. another aren't usually particularly noteworthy because you're never going to see that player in Taiwan on your server with that rare item you got for logging in during some event, or got through that limited time promotion. We think it kind of sucks that a pet collector in Europe could never hope to get that China-exclusive Golden Pig pet from back in 2007, or that just because you live in a region with a different business model where the Annual Pass didn't make any sense, that you never had a chance to get a Tyrael's Charger. We definitely do not want to undermine the exclusivity of someone's mount or pet between them and their friends, or guild, or server, or region, but we think it makes a lot of sense to have equality of items ... not even their availability necessarily, but just their existing, throughout all regions.
I got it too. Personally, I'm not too pissed off. I barely use it. I would like to use it, but it's just so.. out of the WoW universe that it feels wrong riding it. In fact, given that quite a few of the store mounts fit the WoW universe, I guess it fits.
I do understand what you mean, though.

You could be right. Might be that they'll consider extending it to other regions, however. I mean.. if players from the EU and US find it too unfair or something, that they can't get it anymore. I dunno? Would Blizzard really object to more money?
Is anyone really surprised? More money for the money god! Praise be to the Blizzard $tore!
It is sold in Asian regions only because they never received the Annual Pass promotion and the mount is, for them, otherwise unobtainable. You're probably seeing it on the PTR store for the same reason we saw the Asian-region only Experience Boost potion.

Providing the Charger through the Store for those regions is much the same as providing previously EU-and-US-unobtainable Asian promotion pets through the RaF Reward system, as they started doing a few months ago.

This is actually for Asian WOW only as they didn't have the chance of anticipating in the annual pass.
Soooo.....why is the Store description for it in the screenshot written in English?It is sold in Asian regions only
Also when can I have a chance at Gurky on US servers?

Kind of bummed I never got mine. Thought I had signed up for the Annual Pass but only was set for 6 month renewal.
