The intention is to offer a universal design so people around the world will recognize it immediately and know how to use it safely (imagine people opening the hot water and putting their hand under it thinking it is cold water).

Building code (which includes Plumbing) varies on a state or local government basis, but here in Illinois, it is code to have hot water on the left. Note that this includes rotary knob faucets, commonly found in showers. This has been written into construction codes for safety reasons, as water from a residential water heater can scald and burn skin. I can't speak for everywhere, but I strongly believe that this standard code has been enforced across the US.

Is it true that you should not ingest hot water from the tap because the sediments from the hot water tank is bad for you?

Most probably the "sediments" have settles to the bottom and as the hot water is taken off the top of the heater there will be none in the tap water. Hot water will contain less calcium and other impurities (they fall out and become those "sediments" but hot water may also dissolve other compounds from pipes.
