I have a Raspberry Pi with Bluetooth using the /dev/ttyAMA0 and a UART using /dev/ttyS0. Is it also possible to use the USB as another UART? Are pins 14 and 15 tied to the USB as well?

The USB is not tied to Pins 14 or 15. The USB becomes what it plugged to it. A card reader with a SD Card becomes a USB Disk. A Raspberry Pi Pico becomes a TTY Device (/dev/ttyACM0). As Milliways suggested, a USB Serial Dongle becomes a TTY device.
/dev/ttyAMA0
./dev/ttyS0
is the mini UART on the SoC normally on GPIO 14, 15.
