Is a joint venture car, like Geos, Vibes, Saturns/Honda, Ford/Mazda or Chrysler/Mitsubishi products rice burner or not?

Geos and Vibes were GM/Japanese joint ventures and I read some Chryslers had Mitsubishi parts. Some Saturns had Honda engines. I think Mazda built some cars for Ford or some such, so in my family we called Mazda Japanese Fords, once. However, the cars carried Geo (later Chevy), Pontiac, Saturn, Chrysler (or one of its divisions) or Ford (not sure if Mazda made any cars for their Lincoln-Mercury division) badging.

Update:

There's also that Ford/Nissan, which produced Mercury Villager. Btw, rice burner means Asian car, the older meaning of rice.

    There's only one way to identify the riciest of the ricers: they're bearing JDM insignia added by the owner long after the car was manufactured.
