I don't know too much about the others, but the Chinese calendar is used purely in ceremonial and cultural contexts and is not really used in everyday life.

Edit: Okay so I checked, all of these calendars are used alongside the Gregorian one, mostly for religious or ceremonial purposes. Meaning if you asked a person from such a country what date it is today, they would in all likelihood answer the Gregorian date.
