Default Canada built vs US VIN

Want to buy new front (rebuilt) calipers for my 2006 Accord EX Coupe (2.4L). It turns out there is a different p/n caliper for US built cars vs Canadian. Supposedly the VIN will define which is which. Can anyone help me know whether I have a US or Canadian built car? I don't want to have the car apart and find I have the wrong calipers. My VIN starts with 1HGCM. Thanks, TF

According to internet search
A VIN which starts with a 1, 4, or 5 means the car was assembled in the USA
A VIN which starts with a 2 means it was assembled in Canada
A VIN which starts with a 3 means made in Mexico
