True in theory but in practice it wasn't much of an issue.

Especially as late as when the DVD came.

And the purpose of it wasn't geo-restrictions either.

The impact might differ a lot depending on your region and where your interests are.

Living in the SECAM region and wanting to watch US/british stuff makes it a lot more prominent issue that if you're in the PAL or NTSC area for instance.
