Is it a regional thing? I've lived in the Midwest mostly and never heard of this.

I don't think so. In the UK the default is also Ms unless a preference has been expressed for Miss/Mrs.

Especially in a business context, it would be unprofessional to ask if a woman is married or not merely for determining which title to use. Unless you want to have an affair with her, of course.
