Default Countersinking Allen screws, bit angle for metic different to unified??

I seem to remember being taught in school that metric countersunk Allen
srews had a 90 degree countersink angle, and Unified had an 82 degree
angle. Is that right, and does it matter if I just use a 90 degree
countersinking bit for both, as here in the UK no one seems to stock 82
degree bits for ferrous material? Thanks.
