I found this info online:

In Latin America, the informal plural, vosotros, is seldom used, even when talking with family members, so ustedes is used in plural cases. In Spain, vosotros is generally used as the plural of tú.

And...

In Argentina....the use of vos instead of the far more common tú as the second-person familiar subjective pronoun. Although vos is heard elsewhere as an alternative to tú, or among certain groups of people, in Argentina it basically replaces tú in everyday speech among people of all classes and education levels.

However, "vos" is used as an alternative to "tú" (in the singular, not the plural). - samdie, Mar 11, 2010

I have seen statements that suggest that there are "pockets" (isolated communities) in Latin America in which "vosotros" (with the attendant verb forms) is used but, on the whole (99% of the time) using "vosotros" = Spanish, as spoken in Spain.
