It was my understanding that this is true across the world except in the United States, where it's the Vigil of the Immaculate Conception instead, since Our Lady under that Title is the Patroness of the U.S.

According to this, however, the Vigil of the Immaculate Conception was dropped in 1962.
http://sspx.org/en/rules-fast-and-abstinence

Fasting and complete abstinence were obligatory on the following days:

Ash Wednesday
Fridays and Saturdays in Lent
Good Friday
Holy Saturday (until midnight)
Ember Days (Wednesday, Friday and Saturday)
Vigil of Pentecost
Vigil of Christmas
[NB: both the Vigils of the Immaculate Conception and All Saints were omitted from the 1962 calendar]
