Quick Question:
Do shunt trips circuit breakers take up an extra space?
For example would a shunt trip for a 20A-1P square d or whomever take up two spaces?

In my experience yes, any of these smaller ones I have installed have taken up an extra space.

So when I install a 3 pole 50 amp shunt trip it is going to use up four spaces.

I was pretty sure they did but wanted to double check.

Single pole usually do. I have seen 3 pole that didn't.

As irwire said, "the smaller ones". Usually with the larger molded case breakers, larger as in distribution style, (not amperage) they dont'.
