CDMA is only in USA and Japan from my informal mousing around.

There's pockets in more places. A handful of countries had fixed wireless CDMA for home phones where it was difficult to install wires, and many of them have opened up regulations for those carriers to do mobile CDMA as well.
Mexico (e.g., Guadalajara), the Caribbean (particularly adjacent to Puerto Rico), and northern Colombia and Venezuela seem to have pockets of CDMA as well.
On the map, there appear to be small handfuls in Canada, even though Bell and Telus shutdown those networks in 2019 and 2017, respectively
Indonesia still have a bunch of CDMA towers listed, but IIRC the spectrum was auctioned off a while ago.
We shut down the last of the CDMA here in Australia back in about 2008.
Qualcomm's CDMA (CDMA2000).
