Yes, when it comes to DVDs, it appears that it's typical for the widescreen version of a film to show less at the top and bottom but more at the sides than the full screen version does (and a VHS version would be comparable to a full screen DVD version). I've seen many complaints about that over the years - though as Gothick says, it also seems that the widescreen version is the way the film was intended to be seen. That would be why hoDS looks the way it does. However, with that example from NoDS, it seems as if we're not getting any extra width. Odd.
