This is  true if, and ONLY if, the donor(s) is/are   US person  ( Citizen / GreenCard ? Resident for Tax purposes ) at the time of gifting.   There is generally no gift tax filing  ( IRS form 709 ) for Non Resident Alien ( when not connected / sourced  to US ).

Agree with @guywong , that  depending on the facts and circumstances  you may come under  FBAR  and FATCA regs.
