It’s a distinction I remember from (American) childhood (I’m ~40) but I think even then it was viewed as pedantic and falling out of common usage. I don’t think either is “right” even if I take a prescriptivist approach, but even if I’m not aware of it I do tend to favor omitting non-decimal “and” in my own usage in hope it’s less ambiguous.
