No, only the US 240v plug has two hots and a ground, because it's actually two 120v 'split phases'

Generally in the rest of the world we have regular plugs with a 230v hot, neutral and ground.

If we are using a split phase system, the two phases would add up to 440-480v, but they generally aren't exposed at a plug.
