You seem to be surprised by this concept.
Did you read the articles I linked?
In any event, it's "between lanes;" no vehicle (other than an emergency vehicle) is permitted to travel beyond the marked boundaries for roadway (in other words onto the shoulder). So it's the lanes of travel in one direction.
Riders are permitted to ride between the lanes of travel, period, regardless of left, right, center, etc. So if there's five lanes of traffic, there are four legal potential split options.
Nor are riders permitted to ride between lanes when they are directional (
i.e. a turning lane or, insane as it would be, between lanes of oncoming traffic).
