Yes. For example, copyright to a song can be owned by the person who wrote the music AND the person who wrote the words. Then, based on the agreements each of these people made with their publishers, the same song may be administered by one company in North America, and a different company in every other country.

However, you see in that example that the rightsholder stays the same, and only the administrator changes: there would not be a situation where the rightsholder would vary from country to country.
