Spanish pronunciation question regarding 'c' and 'z' ('s' vs 'th')

Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum.

I have a question regarding the Spanish pronounciation of the 's' sound. From what I understand, in Castilian Spanish, an 's' or a 'z' that is followed by a vowel is pronounced like 'th' in English, for example Ibiza sounds like 'Ibeetha'.

Does this apply to only Castilian Spanish? What other regions of Spain would pronounce words this way?

Thank you.
