right
Yes that is correct
Steering wheel placement aims to put the driver closer to the middle of the road. Some countries decided differently WRT which side of the road to drive on. Cars made to be used in right-side-traffic have the steering wheels to the left, while cars made to be used in left side traffic have the steering wheel to the right.

It's not really about the cars being "American" or "British", it's about which side of the road they are expected to be driven. You can find LHD(left hand drive) Jaguars as well as RHD Fords. The US use right-side traffic, and almost all cars there are built with left-side steering. England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales use left-side traffic and almost all cars there are built with right-side steering.

In the US it was a the start of the 20th century, in some countries, it hasn't. In 1903, Henry Ford began designing cars that had steering wheels on the left side of the vehicle.
Brit cars have their steering wheels on the right side (opposite most of the world) and they drive in the left lane (opposite of most of the world).
The cars in Germany have the steering wheel on the left side.
IGNORE THIS -four wheels two on each side + a spare tire + the steering wheel = six wheels
In Italy, people drive on the right side of the road. So cars made to be used in Italy - or any other right-side-traffic country - have the steering wheel on the LEFT side, to put the driver closer to the middle of the road. The only regular exception are cars imported from left-side markets and some delivery vans etc.
Driving is on the left-hand side of the road with steering wheels on the right.
