In the same way that 240V countries run on 400V as well then?

Sort of. Outside of industrial or businesses, my understanding is that it is rare to see multi-phase power (400V) used in power applications. You may get 3 phases into your house, but the phases are used separately (each at 240V) for most things in residential.

Stoves are pretty much always at three phases unless it is something like a small summer-house

Washing machines too I've heard.
