Even a brick house has wood in the walls, roof, and joists.

No, no it doesn't. Or at at it doesn't have to. Wood is definitely not standard building material in all countries.

My familiarity is only via YouTube, wherein handy, woodworker types in Norway, England, and such fix their own houses. Did watch a guy use a steel I beam to fix his upstairs floor sag in a 200? year old house.

Can't speak for England, but Norway does use quite a bit of wood in construction. It really depends on the country and their habits.
