I can't say anything about "all" maritime nations, it is required for STCW compliant nations, who maintain the IMO standards.
Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping
International Maritime Organization
Not all nations are STCW or IMO compliant though
so they may or may not require celestial nav

From what I've read, seen, heard and been told, Celestial Navigation is REQUIRED in the Merchant Marine or Merchant Service of all maratime nations. The Regular Navies and the Merchant Marines of maratime nations are different things though.
