The idea that anime can only come from Japan, or can only have a specific art style, has never convinced me. If it looks like anime, it counts. So, for me, Avatar, the Last Airbender counts as anime, despite being made in America. Something like Adventure Time doesn't count because it's missing the singiture animation quirks that define anime. Isn't the 30 frames per second thing something you can attribute to anime?

Or am I just misinformed?

Anime is usually done in 12 frames, hence causing its infamous appearance for choppier animation. That's why fans go nuts when animation is super smooth.
