Spirit world has many difinitions like:
some define Spirit world as a world that is unsensed by the physical bodies but by the spirit.
some says it is a world that spirits reside in after the death or when they leave the body.
science say it is the fifth dimension and calls it the astral plane.

I guess yes, then. :)

I'm not sure about what the top definition would be, though, so I can't really say.

I do, however, believe in something beyond this world. If you would consider an afterlife as part of a "spirit world", possibly.

I don't believe there is a place one goes and waits to be rewarded or punished, though. I believe transmission of life-to-life is (probably) instantaneous if one has not left the cycle of birth and rebirth. If it is not instantaneous, I guess there would then be some sort of "life-review" beforehand.

Of course, I could be wrong. :)

Gaudiya Vaishnavas believe in a Spiritual World where God and Liberated souls reside, its called Vaikuntha.

You could put Hinduism, of the Shakta style of thought. It's not official or anything but it's the one I lean closest to at this moment in time.

About hinduism, all branches have the same core beliefs, don't they?

Pretty much.

A Smarta, Shaiva, Shakta, Vaishnava, Smarta and Ganapatya all believe in the authority of the Vedas, for example.

However, a Shakta sees Devi as supreme, Vaishnava Vishnu, Ganapatya Ganesha, Shaiva Shiva, and Smarta it's Surya, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, and Devi.

Many Hindus will not see much of a difference in the deity one worships though, since many believe it's all the Deity.
