You are correct. If you don't have the EIN for your school, you actually do not need EIN/Tax ID to enter you education expenses from a FAFSA eligible foreign institution.
When you get to the 1098-T entry, you can say that you don't have a 1098-T and there is an exception. The program will then let you enter the expenses without the form. You will not need an EIN.
