¿¿comas?? proper placement?
Are they used in approximately the same places & ways in the Spanish of Columbia & Vensuela?

In my experience commas, semicolons and most punctuation work pretty much exactly like they do in English. One thing different is when you use quotes or comillas españolas the punctuation always goes inside. Also, in many Spanish speaking countries commas are used in numbers like we use decimal points in English. There may be other differences, but I'm not aware of them.
Commas do not have an accent in Spanish. They apply to all written Spanish, no matter where from.
They are placed to indicate a pause between words, much in the same way as in English.
Actually comas can change a meaning of a sentence, so in the spanish of Colombia and Venezuela or Mexico, etc. you need to place them in the right place in order to give the proper meaning to the sentence.
