I was in Finland and Sweden last week and Apple Pay is definitely live there already. In fact it seemed to be more available there then it is here - I used it at the majority of the stores I visited.

That will just be NFC contactless payments. If you are from a country with ApplePay enabled banks/credit cards then when you travel abroad you can use the contactless card terminals wherever you are.  Which is awesome. 

That being said I hope ApplePay will continue a rapid roll out internationally. They need to get some mindshare in place before Wechat/wepay or AliPay get a roothold. In China those two services have pretty much taken over from cash in the bigger cities.
