No replies to this so far, so... Indeed it is - it's used in Australia, along with ISD (International Subscriber Dialling). There are very few manual exchanges left in the country, incidentally. AXE is slowly replacing step-by-step and Xbar. Would I be wrong in guessing that most (if not all) of what used to be the British Commonwealth countries use the STD/ISD terms?
