Yes, or better, "I regret doing it."

"Regret for it" in unidiomatic. You simply regret it. As for the equivalence, it depends on what you mean by "sorry for". To be sorry for someone/something can mean to feel pity for them/it. If you regret it, "I am sorry for it" would require an unusual context, but it is plain English. Normally you would say "I am sorry" or "I am sorry for X", where X is what you did, as in "I am sorry for shaving your cat's name into her fur."
