Mostly, yes. We do also have a small minority of Parishes and Monasteries that serve the Western (Roman) Rite Mass.To the Eastern Orthodox: all of your divine liturgies are from the family of Byzantine Rites isn't it? Like the Catholic Church being predominantly Roman Rite, with the exception of the various, but significantly smaller Eastern Rites and non-Roman Latin Rites. Whereas the Oriental Orthdox is a composition of the liturgical families of Alexandrian, Antiochene, Armenian, and Chaldean. Correct me if I'm wrong.

To the OP, the reason there was confusion I think is because we generally hear or refer to ourselves as Eastern Orthodox if we have an adjective at all, wheras we're also more used to often hearing of the Byzantine Catholics. I don't think many of us consider ourselves "Byzantine."
That might be an interesting poll lol.
So this question is now resolved?
what do you mean?
