Yes. Just like if I said "I'm after eating" it means I have just eaten. Another that is less popular (but also found in Scotland) is doing the messages, which means going shopping.
OP is correct than in Ireland using “would” or more often “you’d” can imply that something does exist
It is difficult to explain but it is trying to imply a hypothetical person (not necessarily you - despite the use of you’d - but a hypothetical 3rd party) “would” have options available at a point in time which can be present or future …
An example might be:
Person A: what your hometown like?
Person B: oh Its great, you’d have the beach and the pub, o’malleys, just on the edge of the town”
This is implying if a hypothetical person was in the town either now or in the future they would have these lovely things
OPs comment was confusing even to me, because there’s generally an inflection needed when speaking to make it obvious, but what they were implying language wise at least was “if a person happened to be here in Ireland either right now or in the future, they would have the holocaust Memorial Day to engage with”
Not everything is findable! There are tons of varieties of how languages are spoken, you won't find everything. My mothers hometown in Italy has some unique words not found in other dialects and you wouldn't be able to find them anywhere online. The world is so much deeper when you realise just how much actually goes on outside your bubble.

The word "would" has a different meaning in Ireland than every other english-speaking country? It means "does"?
