  Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. (And really, everywhere. It’s a fairly basic pattern.) Sometimes it’s at an angle, sometimes it’s not.

  Generally in the west, unless it’s on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.
