Default Different Formats for Different Countries -- Variable Density B&W Film

Hi:

Is it true that in the days of B&W film and optical track audio, that
the films were formatted differently in different countries?

When magnetic videotapes were the norm, USA and Canada used NTSC,
France and Russia used SECAM, and the rest of the world used PAL.


Thanks,
