I think AVID is widely used in the places where was already used before the "Digital revolution".
I can talk about Spain. In the late 90's only few TV stations and a just bunch of private production companies were using AVID while many were using more affordable systems like Quantel, etc. With the boom of DV, most people started using PP, also because Macs were very little spread, but in the last 5/6 years the shift to Macs/FC has been massive.
No idea of the perception of FCPX over there, but being many just arrived to FC and with the actual economic situation I don't think many people is thinking to change to nothing.

Now I live in Southeast Asia, where in the early 2000s was basically no video industry. Most people started with PP, because was the only option. In 2005 I bought my G5 in Singapore because was the only place with resellers and service, however, with the boom of the iPod, Apple started to set his network in the area (now there Apple Stores in most of the countries in the area) and in the last four years has also been a big migration to FC (I have to point out that many, many, on Hackintosh) although many people keeps working with PP and there is also a lot of Edius users.
Around here seems that people haven't heard yet about FCPX but I think when many FC users will be in the need to refresh their NLE, they will go back to PP.
Although may seems not much important, one fact that may prevent some people to go FCPX is the dependence of Internet for installing and updating. There are many areas in the world where Internet (when available) is not reliable enough and depending on a connexion is you risk to be unable to finish your job.
