It is my belief that most of those other gods in other nations mentioned in the Bible are the different names and faces of Satan since those other gods led the people away from the belief in their Savior and righteous living.
We know that God would send different prophets in various countries to preach the Gospel which is intended for everyone. Christ's sacrifice is for everyone. However, this does not stop people from following other paths, including false ones, either by choice, lack of understanding/knowledge or because of the choices their parents made thus causing them to be taught and follow false traditions.
