You are correct. U.S. culture has pervaded or invaded all aspect of life even in non English speaking countries. Le weekend is an example.
But some terms have not changed, return is one of those. In he context of journey, ticket, fare, etc. return is always understood to mean round trip. Thirty two years of living in the U.S. has not erased the meaning of return.
