I am still fairly positive that most door close buttons on Hong Kong elevators do function. I am going to time the one in my building (i.e. closing time w/o pushing button vs. pushing) and will report back the results.

I've been digging more into this topic and I believe it only applies to the doors in the USA.

I believe that would be correct. Most elevators in Denmark don't have them at all, but those that do always seem to work.
