| No. IIRC there are a few local words and they don't go in for this 'four twenties' stuff when wanting to say eighty. | |

I would not know many differences between French French, or Swiss French, however numbering varies among francophones depending where they are:
70 80 90
French: soixante-dix, quatre-vingt, quatre-vingt-dix
Belgian-F: septante, quatre-vingt, nonante
Swiss-F: septante, huitante *, nonante
* in GE, NE, JU quatre-vingt is used
* in VD, VS, FR huitante is used
I believe octante is now considered archaic in Switzerland.
Mind you I never understood why the french say four-twenties-ten for 90.
