In America, this seems to be the case also: Sticking close to original Buddhist branches of teaching rather than "making Dhamma-Vinaya up as we go", as I've seen in some of what I would term "Buddhist cults" is a quite the rare thing here.

Rather than everybody wondering whether they belong to a cult perhaps you'd like to list some examples of groups or organisations that you consider to be Buddhist cults.
