How about this from Merriam-Webster. They use that in other countries right?

“a : one of a pair of marks [ ] used in writing and printing to enclose matter or in mathematics and logic as signs of aggregation”

This is the only relevant definition. So, people might call it that where you’re from, but its unspecific and parentheses is still a word there.
