Responsa Ahali Yaakov, Siman 70, proved from the Gemara in Nedarim, page 49b, and from the Maharshal in Nedarim there, and it is also proven from the words of the Rambam in Chapter 12 of the Laws of Idolatry, Halacha 10, and it is written in the Tur and Shulchan Aruch, Siman 182, that everything depends on local custom, and similarly written in Darkei Teshuva, Siman 182, Sk 13.
