Only if they're played on multi-region DVD players, or if the DVD is both region 2 and 1 (which i think is unlikely.)
Region 0 can play on all dvd players, but make sure they're authentic region 0, and not ebay lingo for 'fake'.
Hope this helps

The simple answer is no, as Rach said it'd have to be a multi region player.

Also, a region free player may not be enough. For European imports, you'll have to make sure that you can play PAL discs. Unless your DVD-player can make the conversion, you'll need a PAL capable TV, or an external systems converter.
Japanese region 2 discs are NTSC, so they should play fine on any region free player in the US.
