This would be the case only in those countries where everyone is a donor by default (unless explicitly you opt out).

I don't think most countries have laws like that though.

The state where I live has opt-in organ donation option when you apply for a driver's license/state ID. As a retired EMT in a rural area, I encountered organ donation cases twice in my career. Once, the patient was flown out, the other time, the orgqan donation crew was flown in. The first case, the patient had suffered a gunshot wound to the head that spared the autonomic functions, he was breathing on his own.
