Well, the USA has the same coming in too.  We have 220v to 240v coming
in but that is split into different legs for the 110v to 120v stuff.

No, we don't.  We have ~120V between a 'hot' wire and neutral, and
240V appliances work by using the two hot wires that are 180 degrees
out of phase with each other.

Other countries actually have 240V between the hot and neutral wires,
regardless of how many hot wires actually come in.
