Are movies cut down on DVD when released worldwide?

What I mean is: when I look at the back cover of my australian cover dvds (as I live in Australia) the running time for the film is always a few minutes shorter then what is compared on a website like imdb.com or the same dvd released in a different country.

So like the american release might be 112 mins and my countries' release might be 103 mins. This isn't any director's cut or anything but comparing with the same exact film but the running time just seems to always change when released in different parts of the world.

I am asking if anyone knows actually why the running time changes and is cut down?

thanks
