Don't have much time to reply, so a short one:

Always look at the country specific page to get the answers. The international 
page is just there for some "guiding", but the countries have to make their 
own rules. As is the case for Belgium.

country: level 2
regions: level 4
communities: level 5
provinces: level 6
arrondissements: level 7
municipalities: level 8
district/deelgemeentes/sections: level 9

I've just spent some time yesterday fixing numerous borders in Wallonia which 
were tagged incorrectly...
