In the case of Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo the Taiwan version omitted the pan and scan version for a widescreen only presentation with DTS.
Your DVDs from Tawain really seem like they're bootlegs...

No. The official R3 releases have DTS, just like the PAL releases do.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

So are the French sets :) which contains DTS tracks for most of the Disney DVDs, but in French.

But a DTS track is not what you msot look for comparind Disney DVDs I think since the "home theater experience" is rather limited in a Diseny movie for most films. As for the few excptions, such as The Lion King, the Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix is enough of a great deal.
So I think the main comparing factors between the different regions should be the bonus features and/or the packaging.
