Artificial literally means created by intending beings, so no, not all planets have artificial satellites, though such could and at some point quite likely will be accomplished or approximated throughout the Sol system, and indeed some remains of humanity's mechanized forays across this local astrovoid do already orbit some of our neighbor worlds.

Many planets, however, have, as for example our planet Earth has the Moon, some number of natural satellites.

Many of these, in turn, are, like the Moon, massive enough that they are spheroid, which isn't necessarily saying much, but, even in cases where interplanetary Man or whomever offspring of Life eventually diasporizes does find them to be as practicably unterraformable as the gas giants some of the planet-sized ones orbit, they will nevertheless likely be attractive for their material resources, and you can be fairly sure we sentient creator-critters'll be leaving trails of tools and toys strewn all about in various and sundry circuits of the celestium, at least for a time.

Which turns my mind to the question of whether a 'moon' can have a 'moon', or if, what seems more likely at this tight rung of the stellar dance, such a space-speck would be stolen by the relatively overwhelming gravity of the planet.

What are satellies used for?

artificial satellites are used for scientists to study planets and take pictures and learn about space. natural satellites are just pretty much there, they rotate the planets just like our planets rotate the sun. the moon is one of earth's natural satellites.
