Is Spanish the only language spoken in most Spanish-speaking countries?

No, most countries with large Spanish-speaking populations also have smaller populations that speak other languages. In today's global society most countries host immigrants from other places who still speak their mother tongue in addition to the new country's language. Additionally, many more people are educated to speak a second language in addition to Spanish. In all Spanish-speaking countries in Central and South American there are indigenous populations whose languages were supplanted by Spanish when the countries were conquered. Major examples of this would be Quechua, Armaya, and Nahuatl. And in northern Spain, there is an ethic group that speaks a language known as Basque (which is also what the people are called).
