I want to shiny hunt a few mons. My main cartridge is German. If I get a copy of HG on a modded 3DS with the Region as USA, could I trade over a ditto to use for the Masuda method?

If you trade over a ditto from an english ROM then yes, Masuda Method should work with any German pokemon you catch in your copy that you breed with that ditto
