Yes - speaking at SMX this past week, Matt Cutts offeredthe following tidbit, as reported by Vanessa Fox:

International Roll Out

Matt confirmed that the algorithm change is still U S. only at this point, but is being tested internationally and would be rolling out to additional countries "within weeks". He said that the type of low quality content targeted by the changes are more prevalent in the United States than in other countries, so the impact won't be as strong outside the U.S.

Yes, the content farms and/or scrapers at least in my country aren't so popular... But I am worrying more on the false positive unluck


Thanks anyway

It's interesting that the US is the trial ground for this algo. Is Europe too important for Google (revenue wise) for it to be the trial ground?

Is this the proof that the balance of the world (Google's view of it anyway) has changed for ever?

Matt said "the type of low quality content targeted by the changes are more prevalent in the United States." I think it's that simple.
