Yes. US stations on FM for example, are on a gradient "odd" frequency: 102.1, 102.3, etc. in Europe, it's gradient "even": 102.0, 102.2, etc.

RDS encoders and decoders are using the same innards and were pioneered by the same company, so I think it's a safe bet that RDS works here in the US and in the UK, no matter where your vehicle was purchased/manufactured.

HD radio may end up being a different story. Ibiquity is the company behind the curtain here in the US. There may be a competitor from Europe in the near future, there's lots of talk that a major European auto group may manufacture and market their own HD radios and possibly control some of the content, which would be a master stroke if they can pull it off.
