I would say you are generally correct re: the insular viewpoint, except when it comes to The Office the US version was immensely more popular - it was a worldwide phenomenon. So when people say The Office they are way more often talking about the US version. It’s a reasonable assumption imo. Kind of like how people used to talk about House of Cards.
