In Argentina you can understand the word "hombre"(or tío) in this contexts, of course, but it would seem a little bit ridiculous to use it here, because it seems too formal to be an exlamation of its type; [sadly] we use more agressive/bad mannered expresions, or more relax ones. To learn Spanish, I think this seems perfect to give the language more naturally and not been too coloquial.
