yes you buy it in your country and its ok to use for 1 year anywhere in the world but what ever country you go to you can only use it for a certain amount of time. Ie Thailand is 90 days with a non O and 60 days a a tourist. From the date you arrive.
The maximum period that you can drive a hire car or bike legally on an IDP is 60 days on a Tourist Visa, 90 days on a Non-Immigrant O visa. For rentals in excess of that a Thai Driver's Licence is required.
