I have heard that format called "the British format" or "the European format" for over 10 years.
It seems to me that the style is increasing is usage.

There are many ways of writing a phone number. It doesn't matter, in general, which one you use but if you are entering a phone number in a web form, you usually omit all separators.

Not that I've seen. Even though it's a phone number you've got there, it looks more like an i.p. address.
