The third generation Japanese-built Odyssey was the first full redesign of the Odyssey since its introduction in 1995. Going on sale in Japan in late 2003, and in Australia and many other countries in 2004, it continued with a 4-door body style, with a much sleeker, lower, and more car-like appearance. The new Odyssey came with the Honda K24 engine, a 2.4 L unit producing 158 hp (118 kW); this is the same engine used in the CR-V and Accord. The V6 engine was dropped completely. However, this has not stopped the new Odyssey from becoming a sales success. In Australia, the Odyssey achieved its best-ever sales year in 2005, and has outsold the Toyota Tarago for the first time.

there is a vehicle called the "Odyssey" in the rest of the world, but it is VERY different than the US model. Just like the "accord" in the US is NOT the same car as the "accord" in europe.

the odyssey you see in the US is build in alabama, and is a North American market vehicle.

it even SAYS that in the artical you quoted from!
