Only if there are more organizations using ccTLDs outside of the US than organizations using generic domains within it.

https://domainnamestat.com/statistics/tldtype/all indicates that strictly based on domain registration counts, ccTLDs are around 39% of total domain registrations. So not nothing, but also not a majority.

"Is the US larger than the world outside it?"

My guess would be that generic domains have more unused registrations, squatting, and redirects to ccTLDs.
