Pretty sure you’re right. Except somehow the bike I learned on only had the one brake. Right hand, but back wheel, contrary to the default. Fairly sure it wasn’t from outside the UK, but it had belonged to a relative so maybe they moved it?
When I got a bike with brakes for both wheels, my instincts nearly catapulted me over the handlebars more than once.
In UK it’s opposite I think

Common for BMX to only have the one, typically on the back for skids (and possibly for stopping kids firing themselves over the bars)
This wasn’t a BMX. It was a child-sized Raleigh that was built like a tank and had solid rubber tyres.
A BMX would have been a lot cooler.
