There are many different types of Buddhism, because the emphasis changes from country to country due to customs and culture. What does not vary is the essence of the teaching the Dhamma or truth.
Theravada Buddhism, the school of Buddhism found in Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar & in part, Indonesia, Vietnam & Malaysia.
Mahayana Buddhism, the school of Buddhism found in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
Vajrayana Buddhism, the school of Buddhism found in Tibet, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Mongolia.

As many as you can come up with. there are three main branches though which center in northern India/Tibet/Indonesia, one in china, and another in japan. the blending and borrowing makes it hard to draw lines though. every monastery is different and every master is different.
