Practice quests take place entirely on the mortal world. No crossing over to the otherside ever takes place.
Otherworld Journeys is what takes place in worship ceremonies and occur on the Otherworlds (ie God World, Spirit World, Sorcery Planes). If you try heroquesting there you get dumped in the Gods War (Heroplanes) instead (HQ p191).
Heroquesting takes place on the Heroplanes.

Practice Quests are Ritual Magic and would use the rules for those in HeroQuest p101-102.
Otherworld Journeys are what you use when learning spells, refreshing spirits or obtaining feats.
Heroquesting confers the benefits listed in Heroquest page 193.
