TL;DR: If you buy V-Bucks on PC or mobile, they are shared if you have your Epic account linked. If you buy them on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox One they aren't shared.

Interesting enough, V-Bucks have some odd rules. The official FAQ page (Billing section) states:.
Purchased V-Bucks are shared between PC and mobile if you've linked your account with your Epic ID. However, V-Bucks purchased on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Switch are not shared between other platforms.
According to a post made by Epic Games in regards to PS4 and Nintendo Switch:.
V-Bucks purchased on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 are only available on the platform they are purchased on. All other V-Bucks, are available across platform.
So it looks like any V-Bucks you buy on a console are only for that console. Any that you earn from actually playing the game are cross platform. The article states that this restriction applies only to the V-Bucks themselves.

The restrictions outlined above apply to V-bucks only. Any content purchased with your V-bucks will be available across platforms. .
