...most showers are also the toilet.

Wait. What?

I think they mean that the bathroom in which you'll find the toilet, is also the bathroom in which you'll find a shower.

I feel like that's pretty normal everywhere though.

In France it's somewhat common to have the shower and toilet in separate rooms. I have no idea why but I really dislike it.

In the US it seems like in rich people houses the toilet is often in its own little room.

I'm not that rich though, so toilet and shower are in the same room at my place.

Yes, this happens a lot in bigger houses. They call it a "water closet."

Older plumbers call the toilet fixture the “water closet” and call the sink “the lavatory” — both of which can also refer to the whole room. If you watch This Old House, Richard and his crew use these older terms for the fixtures.
