Not quite sure what you're asking, but in Australia the charts look pretty much the same. You can: #1 honour the RNAV capture region, or #2 make whatever sector entry is appropriate (using the sector LSA) an any entry point.

I certainly do not make a hold without a good reason (delay). If you're a student/low-time IFR pilot, you might be thinking that holds are normal. Not the case, they're very abnormal - it's a long time between holds - only made if required because you need the time or to delay ... why burn expensive holes through the air when you could go straight there.

If you do make a hold without telling Centre, you'll get all sorts of confused questions They expect training aircraft to do that stuff as part of "airwork" but not real IFR flights.
