Possibly but that isn’t the joke. It the spurious correlation between vaccines and autism that is as ridiculous as the idea that all autistic people like trains.
But why trains? Why not horses? Or bananas or fax machines or lawnmowers etc etc.
Anyway, life's too short. Thanks for your attempt to explain but I think I'm a lost cause.
I took this to mean that some people on the low end of the autistic spectrum (Asperger's or "Functional Autism") tend to get wrapped up in their hobbies, such a model trains. They usually have the most elaborate set ups and can talk for hours on the subject. Thus, America would have real trains.
I'm not really sure but I'm aware of a couple of autistic people who are fascinated by trains and have extensive hobbies collecting and photographing them? Maybe someone else knows if there's a connection?

Is that what the comedian was trying to say?
Sorry, I still don't get it
