Is the international footage the same as domestic?

I ask, because sometimes, studios and film makers will allow a more longer cut to go on the international markets than the USA, since USA is viewed as a citizen of people who tend to have ADD and can't sit through things that don't blow up. Look at the struggles Snowpiercer had when trying to get released to the States, Weinstein wanted to practically butcher the final product, to quote "pander to the western audience"

Or is this something only done on movies born on the international front?

Well I saw it in Mexico, the movie was only about 1 1/2 or so. I'm guessing the movie lasted the same everywhere.
