No - the " symbol also means minutes.

common use in US-English language space appears to be:

' - foot , " - inch

and, apparently:

' - minute, " - second

Where do you find the " also meaning minutes - AU/UK-English?

A web reference is appreciated.

The only - kind of matching - reference I could find was:

Use the straight single and double quotes ' and " only to denote
minutes, seconds, feet, and inches.

That's from:

and the author is from Canada.
