In the US, most states have a law that requires drivers to be as close as practicable to the right edge or curb before making their right turn. This precludes the possibility of through traffic passing a right turning vehicle on the right. As a motorist, when I turn right, I move close to the edge or curb to prevent cyclists from trying to pass me on the right. Most cyclists either wait behind me or pass me on the left.
When I cycle and I want to go straight through the intersection, I ride in the middle of the travel lane. Motorists will either wait behind me, pass me on the right to make a right turn, or pass me on the left and go straight (or make a left). But I don't have issues with right hooks because I take the lane.
