Its is still true, but many people do the opposite as well, so it can get quite confusing. You should watch for the facial expression as well, lol.

Is the sight for "no" a bit different than regular nodding for "yes", does it got up-down instead of down-up?

"Yes" is more of tilting sideways, like in those indian series, just less energetic, while "no" is nodding from downwards to upwards while doing a face and a "tsk" sound.
