"american" cheese is called cheddar in pretty much everywhere I've been around the globe.
There must not be much overlap in the countries we've visited then, because I've never seen this personally; one of the things I was glad for when I returned to the UK after while backpacking through Europe was being able to buy cheddar cheese in supermarkets again — it was non-existent in all the European shops I'd visited, and we usually settled for Edam or Gouda
Edit: I reread my comment and I realised it sounded super passive aggressive and that wasn't at all my intention. My sample size of European countries is 5, which is far from representative for Europe, let alone the world
It's used in hamburgers all over the world basically and you can purchase it in most supermarkets. In my experience, at least.
I've seen it in at least Japan, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Argentina and Brazil. It's also always labeled "cheddar" instead of "american".
