On SHA-256 currencies it's calculated as difficulty*pow(2,32), but what about scrypt currencies like TBX FBX and LTC? still 1 difficulty = 2^32 hashes or something else?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

For scrypt, it's the same way to calculate. You can use any online bitcoin mining calculators with Litecoin like this one: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php

So that's the reason these currencies have less than 1 diff?
