I know these words have the same meaning. Someone once said me that the first one is used in UK and second one in USA. Is it right?

The word is spelled "labour" not just in the UK, but in all English-speaking countries other than the US.

As I said, "labour" is not just British, but is used in all English-speaking countries other than the United States. The other English-speaking countries in America, including Canada, also write "labour".
