GDS is the most common exchange format. If you foundry prefer a different format, Gerber, OASIS and many more are supported as well.

Just wondering if mask manufacturing using other software instead of LayoutEditor to open my GDS design file will they see all "layers" and "sells"?

GDS file are well structured and can be read by all tools supporting GDS. The handling of layer and cells may differ. Some tools only display layer previous be defined inside the tool. Some other tools can only display a single top cell. GDS supports more than one top cell.
