Yes, that is due to 

  ## {3.4} Text
  
  Unless otherwise specified, the character set for text is the UTF-8
  [](#RFC3629) encoding of Unicode [](#ISO10646).

this has not changed since 2440.  But agreed in the beginning the world
was US-centric and this fact was often overlooked. And PGP-2 had no such
definition.
