I think it's true only for German and Scandinavian languages.
Maybe they also use it in Poland, etc., not sure though.
In Dutch it's definitely not used, although they name their notes the same as 
Germans in any other way.
Well, and the souther countries use the solmization system to name their notes.

Well, although I've grown up using H instead of B I don't like to use it 
anymore because it doesn't make sense at all. ;)
I prefer much the Dutch way, since it's so similar but hasn't got this minor 
error.
