I am pretty sure that they do, but I can't be sure, and I feel silly for asking. I checked Google and I had no definite search result when I asked, so it might just be a simple yes.
What I mean by this silly question is do Russians call Mars, Mars? And the same can be said for all other planets? They are Latin rooted, so I am sure they would use the same term, but there remains my doubt.

The names of planets as they are used in the scientific community were "fixed" at a time when scientist in general (in Europe) used Latin for international communications. Therefore, most countries where astronomy is practiced the same way as we do, also use the same terminology... almost.
For example, most countries use names based on the Latin
Terra, Luna and Sol, while English does not (Earth, Moon and Sun)
However, we do use adjectives that come from the Latin words
(Terrestrial, Lunar, Solar)
Mercury= Мерку́рий (Mercurii)
Venus = Вене́ра (Venera)
Earth = Земля́ (Zemlia)
Mars = Марс (Mars) Yep, it is the same word (despite different-looking letters)
Jupiter = Юпи́тер (Youpiter)
Saturn = Сату́рн (Saturn)
Uranus = Ура́н (Ouran)
Neptune = Непту́н (Neptun)
Moon = Луна́ (Luna)
French: Mercure, Vénus, Terre, Mars, Jupiter, Saturne, Uranus, Neptune, Lune
Spanish: Mercurio, Venus, Tierra, Marte, Júpiter, Saturno, Urano, Neptuno, Luna
Ancient Greek names:
Hermes, Aphrodite, Gaia, Ares, Zeus, Chronos (Ouranos and Poseidon) Selene
(Gaia was not deemed a planet, as the Greek phrase "aster planetes" was only used for objects visible in the sky, beyond the atmosphere)
Helios (the Sun) and Selene (Moon) were considered "aster planetes" because they were seen in the sky and they appeared to moved in a predictable way, relative to fixed stars.
The planets Uranus and Neptune were not known to them.

Yes, it is an international convention drawn up by the International Astronomical Union. There ARE variations in spelling among the different languages. I don't know Russian, but for example in French the planet Mercury is Mercure and Saturn has an e at the end, Pluto has an n at the end.
These are small things, the basic names are the same.
