That's one of the best places to earn AP in the game. The best spot is in the Northern Crater at the end of the game. One of the paths takes you through a jungle area that has dirt walls. You can meet red dots there that give you 2,000 AP a piece. Magic Pots are also found there and they will give you 1,000 AP.
when the battle ends and i get 200 AP, does all characters get 200 each?
Yes, 200 AP goes to each character
And further, if each get 200, does it split among all the materia i've eqipped or does every materia get 200 AP each?
Every materia equipped gets 200 AP.

So to summarize, if you win 200 AP in a battle, all materia that is equipped on the three charcters in battle will each earn 200 AP. No splitting of AP between charcters or materia. 200 to all materia equipped and in battle.
