Those are gaussian distributions regarding location probability?

not necessarily gaussian, no. The probability density is a function of (r,θ,φ)

That's the coordinate system, not the location probability?

to talk about location you need to specify an origin .. eg. to talk about gaussian's you need to say Gaussian 'about what'

the probability density like is said is |ψ(r,θ,φ)|^2 where ψ are the energy eigenstatespic.twitter.com/v95ZjgzLWm

Probably a dumb question, but are the functions of (r,θ,φ) (or (ρ,θ,φ) on the right side) always separable?

For the hydrogen atom yes, but that's because we have nice symmetry
