I stand corrected: as Hamster writes, chains have the same internal width, but the external width decreases to accommodate more gears.
You might get away with using a narrower chain than you should have, ie ten speed on a nine speed set-up, but there is no advantage in doing this.
You can't use a wider chain though: it won't fit between the sprockets.
Ten speed chainrings are also offset to the right, so others might not shift as smoothly.
