Being korean american myself, I know that corn dogs are very popular in Korea. They're a popular street food snack. Milkshakes can be found pretty easily as well. Flavored popcorn can probably be found pretty easily but not sure if it's a popular snack. The rest on your list would be very foreign and unknown, especially chili dogs and chix fried steak.
I would imagine there are Canadians who eat all or most of those. "Red velvet cake" was apparently even popular in Canada for a time. Although "Chicken fried steak" might be rare in Canada as I think it's fairly rare in the US states that border Canada.
Considering "chili dogs" seem to be fairly popular in the states bordering Mexico I'd imagine Mexicans eat them some or something like them. British popcorn maker "Butterkist" appears to have flavors of popcorn. They have toffee popcorn anyway. Australia has some caramel corn group.
Corn dogs were my favorite food in the world when I was a little kid, and I tend to chuckle every time I come across one abroad. I have seen them in Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, and some parts of Europe. Just about every place I've been to in the Americas, Europe, and Asia have some sort of milkshake. I don't really like popcorn or red velvet cake, so those aren't items I've taken notice of in my travels. I don't think I've ever seen a chili dog abroad and I'd be surprised if people outside the US and Canada knew of them. I've heard of chicken fried steak but I'm not sure what it is or if it is even that well known in all parts of the US, so I have no idea if anyone eats that outside of the US (or outside of Texas/Oklahoma for that matter).

Chicken fried steak is very much linked to Texas. It's origin stems from the German and Central European immigrants.
Sorry, I find that stuff interesting. lol
I've also heard that a lot of other countries don't like peanut butter?
Milkshakes are popular in the UK - popcorn is available but not hugely popular (because frankly, most of it tastes like crap - the "flavor" is minimal at best). The rest are probably not available.
Also not very popular which you didn't mention is peanut butter and of course what Americans call jelly doesn't exist (only jam, which is technically slightly different) and therefore peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a foreign concept. Also unpopular are pretzels which was quite a shock to me when I moved to the UK since pretzels were a favorite snack of mine and a soft pretzel could almost be a meal itself! Doughnut's aren't very popular either - although I think they are becoming more so as Krispy Kreme is branching out here. Now if only I can get Auntie Anne's and Tastykake to open over here.
Oh and it's pretty much impossible to find provolone cheese.
ETA: apparently Auntie Anne's IS open over here but the nearest one to me is 50 miles. Come on, why isn't there one in Manchester?!
