For sure, their are model numbers specific to regions. Sometimes you see US Products available for various manufacturers and some say not for sale in Canada, which could be distributor rights or maybe won't pass canadian electric standard or warranty requirements

That usually has to do with the fact that American appliances are 110 V for everything but ovens and dryers

We have 110 /120 as our standard regular voltage also

If you read my comment I was saying USA electronics sometimes can't be sold in Canada due to not meeting Canadian (higher) standards.
