1. Probably. The have them in all different countries, so see your local gaming store, or the Nintendo/Pokemon/Gamefreak site.
2. Changing Rotom's form doesn't require a Mystery Gift. And to catch Darkrai or Shaymin, you'll need to go to an event and/or trade it from another game (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum).
Erm.... Wrong.
Changing Rotom's form requires the Secret Key, which only comes through an event, therefore you do need Mystery Gift. Also, the items to catch Shaymin (Oak's Letter) and Darkrai (Member's Pass) were obtained via an event in Japan about a month after Platinum was released there, so it is not unreasonable to expect that there to be an event to obtain the items in the US, and even in Europe following Platinum's release. So yes.... you do need Mystery Gift to get both.
EDIT: The Secret Key was obtained through an event in the period of a few months after the release of Platinum as well.
