I don't think I use any of those words directionally. I guess it is more of a general directional awareness thing than really useful information to convey in most cases. Similar to how some people might describe even the front and back of a building with compass directions. Although I guess in cases of lesser known destinations the general direction might be enough to prompt you to ask if someone could run a quick errand for you or drop you off/pick you up somewhere.
I use "over" to imply "right now unless otherwise specified" but it could be anywhere. Although usually that would be implied by context so it is mostly just an extra word. I ignore the other words when others use them (I would not notice any particular usage) and might say some of them on occasion if I hear enough people using one particular word with a particular place.
