I've only lived in England and Australia, so can only really comment on those, but in my experience, both countries use the same terminology, mostly.
In England you'll often just outright hear "Can you tell me where the toilets are please?", otherwise often, yes, loo. Less common, but still relatively frequent is lavvy (short for lavatory... which is seldom heard).
Bog is a very slang way of talking about the toilet in the UK :P
In Australia, same thing, you'll just hear "toilet" most often, and occasionally loo. I've never heard lavvy/lavatory being used here.
Australia have some other slang terms too, but you'd only use them between friends: dunny, shitter
Restroom is not used at all in these two countries!
