There are 195 countries in the world, 23 in North America.

There are 24 countries with Apple stores, 2 in North America.

So, there are 172 countries not in North America, 22 of which have at least one Apple Store.

So, “most countries outside of North America don't have a single Apple Store” is true, though it's even more true that most countries in North America don't have a single Apple store.
