Normally a Red "stop" light requires the car to come to a stop and it can only proceed FORWARD if the light changes to green Or if it is a blinking Red light then they can proceed when traffic clears the intersection. Right Turn on Red allows you to come to a complete stop and then proceed to turn Right if the traffic allows. This allows you to proceed even though you do not have a Green light.

Is 'no right turn on red a law that applies to all red lights or just specified posted lights'?

Generally, a red light means "stop," but in many cities, it is permitted to make a right turn on red, with caution, if it is safe to do so (no other cars are coming). But as you have noticed, there are exceptions. If you see a sign that says "no right turn on red," that means that specific red light requires a full stop, and you may not make a right turn until the light changes to green. In other words, if you do not see any signs, you generally are allowed to make a right turn on red. If you do see a sign, you are not allowed to make a right turn on red.
