British Empire was heavily involved in Europe, North Africa and South-East Asia. Events in India had great consequences on Europe
The USSR on the other hand barely had any involvement in the Pacific theatre, entering in August 1945.

So, yes, the USSR had little involvement, and they had to be very careful to keep it from becoming an active front. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol (that was in 1939).
