If this was only about Lamas in civil aviation this info is pretty accurate.However, if you include Lamas and Alouettes in military service then no list would be complete without naming India.The Armed Forces of that country have more than a few hundred of both types, with the indian Army fielding the lion's share of Lamas because of their high altitude needs.Of course, they are license manufactured under Indian names (Cheetah and Chetak respectively) by Hindustan Areonautics Limited.Last I read, the country was looking for a suitable replacement for both types and for all three services as well as their pretty substantial para military arms.But,given their slow and bureaucratic acquisition process, it will be well past the end of this decade before the stalwarts of the Aerospatiale stable are put to pasture.
