In Spain, it's like that. In Latin America, it was always "plátano," but in the last ten years, I've seen a new "global Latin American Spanish" emerging that uses "banana" for Cavendish, some Mexican slang, etc. I suspect it's because of YouTube and Twitch.

In Spain, plátano is used for Cavendish and plantains are rarely consumed. I am a Spaniard.
