Have the words “Homies” and “Homes” been so ingrained that they are accepted as common English Language or is it still somewhat ghetto speak?

Urban Dictionary definition ––- Short for "homeboy", someone who is in your neighborhood.
Example ––- Sup daw'? Me an' ma homes wuz out knittin da sweatas wit my mama lass nite, bro.. Were you been at?

"Hey homes, do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Well you wouldn't catch me saying if; if that is worth anything. You also wont catch me replacing the last syllable in a word with a "Y" which is popular here so I may be out of step with my fellow Americans in this.

No you didn't.  You got no Metsicans there in MD do you? No Mama would call her baby vato, especially to the popo or the news.  She would call him her hijo or hijito but never vato.  That would just be wrong.

As for the Homies / Homes issue.  Homies is correct usage but Homes is just another example of gringo deafness.  Homes is more properly "Holmes" as in Sherlock and is used when addressing a single individual as in "Hey Holmes. What the fuck."  Homies is used to refer to a group of individuals with whom the speaker has a friendly association, as in "Don't fuck with my homies."  Some scholars may disagree with this definition but that' simply because they're fucking wrong.

Since you are in MD you are permitted your error. Were you here in northern Mexico I would be obligated to gather up my more linguistically and grammatically astute homies and lay down some education all over your ass Holmes.

They aren't even popular ghetto speak anymore, its an old school phrase..  At least it didn't catch on like some other ghetto phrases do, pisses me off that "my bad" has become a normal everyday household phrase.
