"It depends" - but it's not at all unusual *especially* in digital when there isn't the typical additional noise to worry about.
Certain EQ plugs are just better at certain things than others. Some are great at narrow cuts, some broad, some sound better on the top or the bottom, some have completely different features or mid-side routing or what not.
Samplitude (I use Samplitude...) is an object-based editor, so there are about a million places to insert an EQ. It's not at all uncommon to use Samp's built-in EQ for broad-stroke correction (too much low end, lower mid, upper mid, high). Specific corrective functions might require another plug -- Could be a FFT filter for VDO whine, could be a notch because the guitarist still hasn't changed his tubes, could be a mid (as in mono) only to tame sibilance without taking the sizzle off the side (as in stereo). Note that "specific correction" would likely be placed pre-fade on an object or as the first EQ in the chain.
Then you might put one on the main buss globally. Once you've got everything "non-irritating" you might want to gently lift the top end on everything. Or if it's going to vinyl, you'd add an elliptic filter on the side info. Or maybe just a little overall low cut. Then you might go back and tweak the previous EQ's.
If you run outboard, I rarely disengage my dual Baxandall (running in mid-side mode almost exclusively). Fairly often, that's a global tweak. Not always, but not never.
Granted - You're likely going to tweak all these in *last* order to first. But that comes with experience. Same thing with where they are in the chain. It depends on what the EQ is doing. If it's corrective, it's almost always going to be early. If it's shaping, could be pre-dynamics or post.
That said - The obvious next post would be "Multiple Dynamics Processors" -
