Desert planet, run by apes, is the desert around Page, Glen Canyon and Lake Powell, northern Arizona.
The ape village sets were (!)built(!) on the Fox Ranch in Malibu Creek State Park, Las Virgenes Road off Mulholland Highway, south from Route 101, northwest of LA.
The final scene, when Taylor (Charlton Heston) realizes he has been on Earth all along, was filmed at a secluded cove on the far eastern end of Westward Beach, between Zuma Beach and Point Dume, Malibu.

Answer 2

So far no trace has been received about the extra terrestrial living being. So our dear earth is the planet of the APES too. Regarding the film, they are all the "SET" set up by the producers.
