They do, but the East is significantly more common.

No, they usually get hit by more Pacific storms than Atlantic storms.

Why only Cuba and Mexico? How about other Caribbean countries?

My guess would be that most of the countries in the Caribbean are just too small to consistently get hit by every storm.

this one is rather confusing, what about India, Bangledesh Burma (Myannamar ) and a few others.. they also get hit by tons of cyclones, which to me are not hurricanes, those are from the Atlantic, yet Cuba was an answer.

That's the same thought I had, kept trying everyone in SE Asia, wouldn't have thought of Cyclones in the Caribbean, usually refer to them as hurricanes

Just referencing the Taino (I think) word that's something like "oo-ra-can", meaning angry god or high wind. I forget. They're the same storms, regardless of names.

Not a single Pacific country? Samoa, Tonga etc get them all the time (including last week).

I would think that fewer storms hit those countries simply because they're smaller. Places like Mexico, the US, and Australia have huge coastlines and so are bigger targets. Besides, there are several Pacific nations here, like the Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan.
