A lot of eastern cultures have different titles for spouses of blood related aunts and uncles.

But yes in English, uncle can refer to husband of an aunt. Same as aunt can refer to wife of an uncle.
And in some languages, there are different words for them depending on whether they are on your mother's or father's side of the family.
