I've seen players catch the ball and immediately spike it. Should those be in-completions?

If they spiked it too fast, then yeah, possibly. Arguably that's exactly what happened to Megatron back when his TD was overturned.
Here's all you need (maybe), including video showing complete/incomplete catches. Note the Beckham incomplete pass in the end zone when Butler knocks it out. Starts at about 1:12. Two feet down, clear control, then Butler knocks it out a half-second later. INcomplete.
