Yes...you use impressions mats on Crusted buttercream.I coat my mat with icing sugar and gently press it onto the sides of the cake of it has set up and crusted.It should leave an impression of the design.You cannot do this with non crusting icings though or it will be a big mess.
I have used the impression mat on crusted buttercream. It really makes a pretty cake. I usually put little fondant pearls or flowers at the intersections of the diamonds. I love the look it gives. People are always amazed. They think it was really hard to do. Little do they know it's one of the easiest methods of decorating! 
Also done this on my crusting bc. Dust with powdered sugar and press onto the side of the cake. Remove gently and wipe the impression mat clean with a paper towel. Re-dust with more powdered sugar and re-apply to the next section of the cake. Be sure to wipe the mat after each application (I learned the hard way)!
