I can confirm this is true for Acura. I owned an Acura Legend and the same car was sold in Japan (well, the right-hand drive version) as the Honda Legend. I had seen pictures of them online in the 90s, but happened to see a Honda Legend in person when I was in Tokyo some years later.

Acura is a brand made for North America. Just as in Japan, what you know as Acuras is sold in Europe as Hondas.
