    Yes, C++ is used for mobile development. It's typically used as the core code, and on top of that is the UI code and platform-specific code (Java, etc). This is typically done because C++ is portable across platforms (i.e. it can be used on Android, Apple devices and computers of all kind).

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.

    Question is where or how you get that "core code" compiled for multi-platform or do you just get your same code and compile it on different IDE's to result on different specific platforms?

    That's how you do it usually. Same source. Different compilers.
