Do all foreign phone numbers have 10 digits like US numbers do?

No! The number of digits varies by country, and may vary within a country. International standards restrict the total phone number length including country code to 15 digits maximum (which would be 11 digits for the US and Canada including our country code +1), but what happens after the country code is up to that country. 10-digit and 9-digit phone numbers within a country are common. Smaller countries may have fewer digits: Iceland has 7-digit numbers. China uses 10 digits for landlines but 11 digits for mobile phones; it is effectively in a slow migration to 11 digits. Germany until a few years ago had variable length numbers from 7 to 12 digits, the subscriber (local) part being as short as 4 digits for old numbers and longer for new numbers, but since 2010 uses 10 or 11 digits total. Most countries use 2-digit area codes (with 7 or 8-digit local subscriber numbers), but that varies too, with some using 3 or 4-digit area codes. The UK uses a variable length area code: Even though UK phone numbers are 10 digits almost everywhere (9 digits for certain old numbers), the city code portion can be from 2 to 6 digits, so that large cities have a 2-digit city code and 8-digit local portion, while smaller towns have longer city codes and shorter local numbers.

Is 203151234 an international phone number?

There's no way of telling - that number appears to have some digits missing. Most countries use 11 digits in their numbers (including area codes). In addition to that - they have 2 or 3 digits for the country code. For example - A mobile (cell) phone number in the UK would be displayed as +44 7xxx 123 4567 (the spaces are just for clarity)... +44 is the internatonal access code for the UK, then mobile numbers start with a 7. The number you're asking about only has 9 digits.
