No, there is only one type. Transmission is usually[*] three phase, with transformers from that to single phase for residential use.
[*] some older and remote areas have only single phase distribution.Easy, sure. Unique yes, because there is no reason to do so. Unique and *expen$ive*, certainly.
120/240 single phase is used mainly for residential service. In such areas there will be no 3 phase service at the user level. There will be higher voltage say 12.5/7.2KV three phase but often only one phase is run down a particular street as single phase service is adequate. For commercial and light industry 120/208 may be used (127/220 is more common in Canada). Coexistence of both in the same building is not generally the case. If 400/230 is used then there will be a co-existing 120V service for small "plug in" loads.
