No, it's a thing.
“Access to Netflix isn’t just a pure numbers game because it will always depend on what it is you want to watch, and the specific rights Netflix holds in each territory,”Finder.com explains. “That doesn’t even extend to Netflix Originals series, where (for example) in Hong Kong, Netflix doesn’t stream House of Cards due presumably to the rights having already been assigned to another broadcaster.”

They only recently expanded to more countries and in those countries they had already had rights with broadcasters to show their originals. Those deals aren't up so they don't have them on netflix.
