My experience has been the exact opposite.  Except for very cheap 
keyboards, I believe the standard marks have been on F and J on every 
keyboard I've encountered (USA) in the past 30 years.

They certainly are on my two Thinkpads, two Toshibas, a Dell, and an 
IOGear keyboard.  They're also on the 5 key of the keypads for a credit 
card machine and remotes from Sony and Samsung.  Not all Sony's, though; 
  some are defective.

I had a close friend who is blind and deaf, and counted on those marks 
to touch type.
