You have to use "ustedes" if you want to be formal whit people as a sign of respect. For informal conversations you should use vosotros, for example with friends.

In Latin America, vosotros is obsolete. They use ustedes for both informal and formal. In Spaine however, vosotros is still used for the informal plural. :D Welcome to the forum!

If you're speaking to a Latin American, then you are right.

Spaniards, however, still use the vosotros-form as the plural version of tu.
