incorrect. while that is true for the majority rule, flights to the usa use their origin carrier/origin market for bag allowance

for flights ending in the USA AirSerbia (JU) allows 2 free checked bags even with layovers and connection to different airways confirmed with the home office and airport in Beograd

further more; US DOT Regulation 399.87 applies to all flights on tickets whose origin or ultimate destination is the USA. And since April 2015 Canada introduced its own regulation 144-A-2014 which applies essentially the same rules as the US. These are known as the First Marketing Carrier rule
