Are these mostly used by Latin Americans or are they also used in Spain? Thanks for answers on forehand!

I agree with Neox. It's used in Spain as the formal version of "y'all", but in Latin America they don't use "vosotros" so they have to use "ustedes" for any plural.

It kind of looks like this:

Region     Informal     Formal

Spain      Vosotros    Ustedes

LA          Ustedes     Ustedes
