'Desueto' is understood by most native speakers, but it's not as common in casual conversation as 'obsoleto' or 'antiquato'. It tends to appear in more formal or written contexts.
'Vecchio' simply means 'old' and can apply to anything that has existed for a long time. 'Desueto' specifically means 'no longer in use' or 'out of date,' implying a state of disuse or obsolescence rather than just age.
