Just out of curiosity, do the graduation distinctions apply to graduate school?

I've never heard of that before, but I guess its possible.

Just found this..
"As a general rule, Latin honors are used for undergraduate college degrees only, although they sometimes appear in high schools and at the graduate level. There are also no universal standard for Latin honors, so a magna cum laude degree can mean different things, depending on the institution which awarded it."

I have no clue how credible that link is, since I just found it by googling. You're probably correct.
