Not most. There are the Maronite Catholics which are distinct. There are also Chaldean catholics, Marthomite etc. formed from Oriental Churches
The only one I'd have concerns about are the Uniate -- as there is now "big power politics" with Russia involved

I believe more than half of them are formed from attempts at re-unification (Ukrainian Catholic, Coptic Catholic, Byzantine (Greek) Catholic, Syro-Malabar & Syro-Malankara, and a few others). My understanding is that Maronites are the only Eastern-Rite Church without a corresponding Orthodox Church.
