Here's my question (and it really is a question, I really don't know the answer): ARE there libertarians in those countries? Are they protesting about the socialization of their countries' health care industries? Or is this whole "keep your government hands off me" thing an American phenomenon?

Love you man, but I'm not going to debate the socialized medicine thing for the millionth time.
As for other libertarians in other countries? I don't know. It isn't like AA where there's a clubhouse and a secret handshake. It's a set of principles and values. I'm certain there are people with the same principles and values in other countries who properly distinguish the role of government vs. society in people's lives.
