Re: March 19.
No, in America that would still mean the 19th of this coming March. For March of the year 2019 it must be written in any of the following, proper formats:
03/'19
03/2019
3/2019

March, 2019
March '19
(uncommonly) 03.2019
Either the 20- prefix placeholder must be used or the placeholder's substitute, ', must be present.
