That is probably the dominant case in the Caribbean sphere, like in México. But hell, in Perú is means someone who's a smart trickster and in Argentina it can also refer to pubes. Seriously.
"Pendejo is a single pubic hair (Argentina/Urugay). In Mexico´s slang it is used as an insult like idiot or fool, but in Peru´s slang it used to describe a smart guy with few or no scruples."
Looking at the various definitions they give in that website, it seems most people in the Anglosphere will take on the Mexican slang meaning of the word, which is more or less like it says there.
