We have this (though slightly less UFO-y) in parts of Japan. So far as I can tell, only where space is more limited and I've never seen them as self-serv. Despite what other posts I've seen around the web, most gas stations in Japan are just like you'd find in much of the world with pumps one pulls up to.
