I mean not optional by certification and law, not physically, so no, we don’t have different sockets - all sockets have earth, but it doesn’t have a shuttering system like the UK’s.
A two pin plug still plugs into a regular socket, it’s just illegal to produce or sell something without an earth pin if it doesn’t meet safety standards for double insulation.
