Well by the book "Oh, my God," it is a western cultural phrase. It is often said in times of surprise, and rarely, as a plea to one's god (usually Yahweh, the Christian god). Its origins are obviously religious, but it is not often said with religious overtones in the present day.

It's not an idiom. 'Lord' is a commonly used word for 'God'. When someone says 'Oh Lord', it is like they are saying 'Oh God' or 'Oh my God!' People say 'Oh Lord' when they are frightened, surprised, or disappointed by something. Eg: "Oh Lord, I forgot to hand in my essay!"
