You're right, even though the API documentation specifies that you can retrieve a list of states, the API does not allow this.
To get the region ID's for the states, here's what to do:
You can look up the region ID for a city, state, or neighborhood by searching for it from the search box in the header of the following page and then copying the number after the "r_" in the url: http://www.zillow.com/local-info/

Actually, here's a way that the API can be used to retrieve the list of states (102001 is the region ID for the United States):
http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetRegionChildren.htm?<ZillowAPIKey>®ionId=102001&childtype=state
http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetRegionChildren.htm?<ZillowAPIKey>®ionId=102001&childtype=state




GetRegionChildren to get states of the US
http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetRegionChildren.htm?zws-id=<ZWSID>&country=unitedstates&childtype=state
However, this does not work. How would one go about getting region ids for all the states?
