¿És molt habitual?

A mi, sí que és habitual

The world is X's oyster (X's = mine, yours, his, hers, etc.)

¿Coneixeu alguna dita semblant en català?

L'única cosa que em ve al cap és rai, però segurament n'hi ha altres que són més a prop.

Yes, for me it is very common as well, but not quite with that meaning.

"The world's your oyster" means (to me) that all opportunities are available to you, all doors are open, because you are in a favourable position. For example "You're young, intelligent, well-educated... the world's your oyster." All the good things the world has to offer are out there for you and you are in a position to take them.
