It's like that everywhere to varying degrees. Early on, a bunch of weird Korean films dropped on Netflix (2009ish), and then disappeared for a while. They started trickling back a few years later.
A few years ago, a glut of Korean and Japanese dramas started dropping as their global popularity increased. You are still going to find more Korean and Japanese stuff if you're viewing Netflix in (say) the Philippines, but there's a lot everywhere. A lot of it has to do with licensing, and where they can get licenses to stream.
As an experiment - try streaming Netflix connected to VPN endpoints in different countries. Sometimes you get the same stuff with different names! Example is a Japanese show called in the US, "Atelier". In Japan, it shows up as "Underwear" (lol).
