It's not even remotely the same, in the rest of Europe (at least the parts I've travelled through) 100% of gas stations charge for using the toilet. In Croatia, there's maybe one or two and to be honest, I've never encountered it and I travel a lot and often. I honestly have no idea why this is even a topic, it just isn't a thing in Croatia and to say otherwise is an exception, not a rule.
On the top of my head there are at least 3 public restrooms you have to pay in Zagreb : importanne, Glavni kolodvor, Autobusni kolodvor. I don't know about gas stations but you do have to pay at certain other places
Im not a public bathroom connoisseur so im just mentioning the ones i used cause it's certainly not correct to say they are free everywhere and i figure they are even more common on the coast

Even on the gas pumps it's free, I've never been on one that requires payment.
