It has existed for a few hundred years at least. It's common in German, to which Swedish is closely related and we've swapped words with each other for a very long time.
Tho, it's not that common in modern day native Swedish words, no.

In Swedish, W is "dubbel-v", double v. But instead of going "dubbel-v, dubbel-v, dubbel-v" we just say "v, v, v".

Yeah, Swedish v is basically German w.
About a soft f, not that comes to mind right now. But that said, I'm no linguist or language teacher.
