This statement is right? |
Very often, yes, that would be the case.
But it could also be used to speak of your company, for example. ("I'm from XXZ Company.")

I知 from France. (That doesn稚 mean my native country is France). |
In your example, I would not say "I'm from France." For me, that is incorrect.
Instead you could say (for example) "I've just come from France."
