Yes, and no. DVD's are component video not RGB and they can be in one of
3 frame rates. NTSC film (24/1001), PAL (25) and NTSC video (30/1001).Even HTDV has different frame rates, PAL/SECAM zones use 25 fps, NTSC zones use 30/1001. AFAIK, no TV sets actually play 24/1001 video.
The first DVD player I bought, circa 2000 had a choice between multisystem and PAL TV sets as a setup option. So have all the successive ones, except a Sansui bought around 2001, which had a multisystem/PAL switch on the back.
The Sansui one was also the only one that was zoned, at it could be converted by entering PI at the right time on the remote. The instructions were on a piece of paper included in the box by the importer.
