This happened to me using the out-of-the box firmware that came with the PSTV. One of the later official firmware updates included a permanent fix so this game can be played offline. I'm on 3.36 now and can confirm the (US) version of FFX/X-2 can be launched without an internet connection.
I'm not sure if they use the same whitelist for your territory so take that with a grain of salt.
There are still a couple of games I know of that refuse to launch offline (following a cold boot) but work fine when connected to the internet:
- Final Fantasy III (PSP)
- Lumines Electronic Symphony (Vita)
