kumusta ka/po
Okay, I'm filipino so I could correct a few errors.
One thing you got wrong is that it goes the other way around. Kumusta ka is the informal way while Kumusta po is the formal way. Also, Kumusta po can also be written as Kumusta ka po. There won't be any difference in the basic meaning of the phrase. The word 'na' can also be added before the 'ka', like "kumusta ka na", or "kumusta ka na po".

Usage of "Kumusta ka/po"
Po is a term that is used to show respect. That is why:
- "Kumusta ka?" is INFORMAL and is used among friends or when addressing a younger person.
- "Kumusta po" or "Kumusta ka po?" is FORMAL and is used when addressing an older person. In fact, the best way to say it is "Kumusta po kayo?" using the formal/plural you (kayo) instead of the informal/singular you (ka).
- "Kamusta" is a popular but wrong way of spelling "kumusta."

Kumusta ka
Just wanted to correct the already posted definition. You wouldn't use: kumusta ka po.
"Po" is an enclitic pronoun used in more formal situations while "ka" is a pronoun used for "you" in a casual context. Thus, the two can never be used together.
The correct form using "po" would be kumusta po kayo.
