No it's not. Take for example India where copyright enforcement is just not existent. People do not buy any software, unless it is Windows when you are buying the branded laptop and it is bundled.
Games, movies, TV Shows, Desktop Software and Market apps; everything that is available for pirating, will be pirated. Sure, some part of it is due to the fact that they cannot buy-watch-use this material either due to them being delay for years or because they require Credit Cards while most Indians have a Debit Card but that is a very small percentage of the entire sales loss.

You believe that this is some part of it. I believe that this is ALL of it. If media companies made it easier for people to get access to media easily and for a reasonable price, piracy will all but disappear.
India also has issues with government corruption, and needing to pay bribes to officials to get anything done. I think that software piracy is the least of the issues there.
