I believe you but as mentioned the only place I can personally recall seeing it is in Burma, but I mostly travel HBO. I went through several airports in Colombia with checked baggage last year but can't remember if they checked there.
It's absolutely standard practice on buses throughout those regions, for sure.
The only airport I've used here where a check was made to see if your receipt matched the bag tag was at AEP. Last time I arrived there they didn't do it though.
