China and Korea, at the very least, do it too. I can't say beyond that, but I'm going to guess it's fairly widespread.

russia does this but only on official documents

last name, first name, patronymic

in speaking, it's still first name, then last name.

According to wikipedia they use given name, surname.

im from Bangladesh and all the males in my family have the same first name, thats our family name, we refer to each other by our last name. As for the women in my family they all seemed to have the same last name but different first names, everyone referred to them by some nickname though. Mind you naming practice in Bangladesh varies widely from family to family, more and and more people are adopting Western style naming practices.
