This is very common! Most cashiers or employees will greet customers this way.
For example:
Cashier: Hello! How are you?
Customer: I'm well, thank you. And you?
Cashier: I'm good, thanks.
Then at the end,
Cashier: Thank you, have a nice day!
Customer: Thanks, you too!

If you're being introduced to someone, however, it's more common to say "nice to meet you" (만나서 반갑습니다).
So: greeting friends or strangers you will not become friends with, "how are you?" Is very common.
Meeting someone for the first time and being introduced you'd say "Nice to meet you" 😊
