Indeed; in French speaking North America, it's l'heure normale/avancée du Pacifique/des Rocheuses/du Centre/de l'Est/de l'Atlantique/de Terre-Neuve (HN/AP/R/C/E/A/T). I imagine there are similar terms in Spanish for Mexico etc.
"Horario de verano", it appears, for Mexico: http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/capitulo... so Mexico appear to be part of "the rest of the world" - "summer time", not "daylight saving time" or "advanced time" or....
and Portuguese for Brazil
"Horário de verão", it appears, for Brazil: http://www.brasil.gov.br/noticias/infraestrutura/2018/10/horario-de-verao-co... so Brazil also goes with "summer time". I haven't checked the rest of South America, or checked Central America, but I suspect the US and Canada are the odd ones in the Western Hemisphere.
