Not that I've noticed in Finland. Though Finnish women have a bit of reputation for being independent and headstrong, which could also mean that they approach more than those of other nationalities, but I can't say I've ever heard someone encourage Finnish women in general to do the chasing nor have I seen them be more active in that regard than men, so I'd have to say it's a false rumor.

I knowots not really an answer to your question especially considering im from Canada, not new Zealand but I don't much care what the social norm is. If i am interested in a guy I'm not going to wait around for him to ask me out. I'll do it.

Not from what I’ve noticed in New Zealand, at least not as a cultural norm. I do think it’s more 50/50 there than in other places I’ve been as to who does the approaching but it’s not expected solely of the women to pursue

In Japan is fine for girls to flirt or tell their guy they like them, or give them gifts for Valentine's Day!

I'm from NZ, and it's not really true, but sometimes, I mean, the guys here like me are more reserved and shy, the girls are more flirty and stuff. Yeah.

No idea, but my one experience with a New Zealand girl was her inviting me up to her room for sex. So I don't know if that's indicative of a culture or just that girl being ready lol

It's an illusion.  Women make it look like they're approaching you, but, really, all they're doing, is giving you the bait. It's YOUR job to reel them in, not theirs
