In my experience, it's typically US automakers that will open from the inside without first unlocking. I think Fords still do this, but every Toyota I've ever owned stays locked until you unlock it - in or out.

My old Celica requires you to hold the exterior handle up when closing the door for it to stay locked as well - it was their protection against accidentally locking your keys in the car.
