While icons are certainly a prominent feature of Orthodox churches, they are also seen in Anglican/Episcopal churches and Catholic churches. I've also seen them in them in Presbyterian, Methodist and Lutheran contexts as well.
I think, though, you'll only see an iconostasis (icon screen separating the altar area from the rest of the church) in Orthodox or Eastern Rite Catholic churches.
