I think some vehicles use temperature compensated charging and many does not. ... (I might be also wrong) How common is it ?

High temperature damage battery even when temperature compensated charging is used. (cool or "room temperature" is better)

euromodder - Cold temperature lowers the capacity of the battery. You won't probably not see any difference in battery voltage if you don't have temperature compensated charger.

Cold battery has less energy loss. That is the reason for better total FE.
