No, I've confirmed that a random sample of HTC & Huawei phones around my office are also vulnerable. Nothing specific to TouchWiz. The thing that MIGHT be specific to Samsung is the actual remote wipe code, but relying on that is simply security-by-obscurity. I'd bet ALL phones have got some USSD code you'd rather not be instantly triggerable by a web page.

From what I understand stock Android doesn't have the problem. Multiple manufacturers seem to have introduced the flaw in the same way with their customizations.
