Question Altitude reporting - Meters or Feet

Trying to get a sanity check on this.... My understanding is that most of the world has altimeters that report in feet ASL..... baro correction may be in either milibars or inches - but the altitude itself is in feet. You report too ATC in feet. ATC clears you to altitude in feet. To my knowledge it is only the ex-soviet block countries that work in meters ASL.... True or False?
