Indeed but I have not seen them on any other train except the Electrostars and the class 700.
They are also fitted to the Porterbrook e-Pacer demonstrator and, as has been mentioned above, the first class seats (also Fainsa) on the 385s are the same design as the standard class ones in the Hitachi 800 series units. The CGI mock-ups for the 385s produced last year showed the Fainsa ironing board type seats being used so this comes as little surprise.
Fainsa are doing very well out of UK rolling stock orders at the moment, especially when you consider the large size of the class 700 and 800 series orders, in much the same way that Chapman manufactured seats seemed to be in vogue around the turn of the millennium.

OT, but I thought Craigentinny was going to Scotrail for their HST fleet? Where are they going to be maintained?
According to the Scotrail franchise agreement, the HSTs are set to be maintained at Craigentinny.
The stakeholder consultation presentation for the 385s produced last year makes brief mention of a new depot being built at Millerhill to maintain the new trains, but other contemporary documents mention that Craigentinny was being considered as an alternative, so I'm unsure what the outcome has been. That the usually excellently informed
Philip Phlopp makes mention of Millerhill suggests to me that it's still on the cards. Certainly, stepping up from an allocation of 42 HST power cars, 170 mark 3 carriages and overnight servicing of Crosscountry Voyagers (although stabling takes place at Arriva managed sidings just down the line) to (at least) 54 HST power cars, 121 mark 3 carriages, up to 234 class 385 vehicles (although presumably a number will be serviced overnight in the Glasgow area, based on the routes they will be working) and servicing of East Coast IEP sets would seem to me to be quite a large increase.
