If I cast Living Death and return Urabrask the Hidden to the battlefield from my graveyard, do the creatures from my opponents' graveyards enter the battlefield tapped?

I think yes, because they all see each other, but I'm only 90% sure.

No. Urabask's ability is a replacement effect and it applies before the event would occur. Since Urabrask is not on the battlefield before the other creatures, his replacement effect will not affect creatures entering the battlefield at the same time.
400.6. If an object would move from one zone to another, determine what event is moving the object. If
the object is moving to a public zone, all players look at it to see if it has any abilities that would
affect the move. Then any appropriate replacement effects, whether they come from that object or
from elsewhere, are applied to that event. If any effects or rules try to do two or more contradictory
or mutually exclusive things to a particular object, that object’s controller—or its owner if it has no
controller—chooses which effect to apply, and what that effect does. (Note that multiple instances
of the same thing may be mutually exclusive; for example, two simultaneous “destroy” effects.) Then the event moves the object.
604.2. Static abilities create continuous effects, some of which are prevention effects or replacement
effects. These effects are active as long as the permanent with the ability remains on the battlefield
and has the ability, or as long as the object with the ability remains in the appropriate zone, as
described in rule 112.6.
Since Urabrask's abilities only function while he's on the battlefield, and his second ability would have to be applied before he gets there, it's not functioning. Your opponent's creatures enter with their default tapped/untapped status (usually untapped).
