This is true for many East Asian cultures, because, as you pointed out, 4 sounds like "Death". You can read about it here. It's the same as the idea that many western hotels skip the 13th floor and instead label it the 14th floor because 13 is a superstitious number. Japanese hotels sometimes also skip the 13th floor.
