Like pretty much every term that consumers hear in wireless, what people mean when they say CDMA varies. The underlying Code-Division Multiple Access method that the OP refers to is a general principle of operation and not a standard. It is also used by HSDPA and LTE. The specific standard that was mostly a US thing and even then specific carriers is CDMA2000, which is a specific standard like HSDPA.
