No. As I used to shoot in the UK well before I shot (or sold content too) the USA, a model release was a legal document, where the model signs away all rights to the content, as well as equally assigning them to you, for to use the content as you wish...
After some time, 2257 came in... It was simply EXTRA PROOF as to the identity of the model. That document was necessary to sell the content to the USA...
I eventually used a 'mixture' of the 2 - A model release that also contained the 2257 info as well. I never had any trouble with that document in the UK or the USA... But I never needed the 2257 part, away from the USA. So I just used that one and covered my ass.
Here is my 2257 compliant model release that I used for many years:

So TL:DR
A model release is the release - The 2257 is additional info required by american law
