"If I'm reading that correctly, H.264 is not a standard but MPEG-4 AVC is. They are "jointly maintained" so they're the same, but who's to say that wont change someday?"
You are not reading that correctly. Two standards groups have different naming/numbering schemes, but have agreed that they will jointly maintain the technical specifications so that implementations will be the same. Neither group, ITU-T or ISO, is under the control of a single country or corporation.
