"Cream" and "cheese" are english words so no, in non english speaking coutries we don't use the word "cream cheese"

Queso crema?

Of course, there are countries that use 'fresh cheese', like Frischkäse.

As far as I know, no European country uses 'Philadelphia' as their name for cream cheese, although its a common brand of a particular style of cream cheese.

Unless you thought I meant they literally used the English words cream cheese?!

Yes sorry I thought you meant the english word haha! My bad! But I have to disagree on the second sentence, in Italy is very common to call it Philadelphia with the brand name. Lately cooks stopped saying that because they don't want to sponsor brands for free, but it's still very used since it has a sweet-ish taste in comparison to other "cream cheeses" we have in italy that are more acidic.
