When I started collecting in the early 1980s, fading seemed much less of a problem and it was several years before I heard any mention of VS. However, I believe that pre-low fade Eastman takes roughly around 20 years to start fading, so many of the prints in circulation still looked fine. Similarly, VS hadn't really got going.
In terms of my collection, I wouldn't associate America with a greater chance of prints being faded or having VS, and with certain titles, I'd consider it the only source of non-faded prints, as it could be impossible to find any that originate from anywhere else.

Micheal is quite correct.
I have a 35MM 4 and a half minute trailner for "Yellow Submarine:, (that Dino sent me as a gift years ago, and once again, many thanX Dino!), and while it still has absloutely spot on color, it smells like a bottle of vinegar, to the max!
I have heard that there are various ways to deal with this and I should take advatage of them.
