This is incorrect and would be utterly chaotic. You may be thinking of an outdated rule in NZ where right-turning traffic takes precedence over left-turning coming in the opposite direction to the same side road. This was the case for a long time but was reversed[0] in 2012, overnight, almost without a hitch.
