The PAL RE3 disc contains multiple language versions of the game (ENG, GER, FRE, ITA & SPA). Unfortunately,
each of these versions require different AR codes. So, some more context would be nice...

He's trying to tell you that PAL releases tend to contain localization files for more than one language. Your "UK Version" is probably just a PAL European version that is sold in other Eurozone countries, the only difference being, probably, the box and the manual, the disc being the same.
Most often than not, the language selection is done automantically by detecting IPL settings and most games don't even offer a language selection menu (you have to go to the BIOS again to change it system-wide).
This finally brings us to how codes for a game can be different depending on what language you are using, because of how the game might deal internally with localizations.
Actually he's saying that all this is not just possible and usual in PAL multi-language games, but that the same is actually the case for the particular game you are asking: Resident Evil 3.
