Is it possible / how do I store templates in the cloud so that they are available to my PC, my laptop and my tablet. And, as another related query, how do I locate the, apparently hidden, directory containing the template files.

Typically, your templates are in a designated subfolder of the AppData folder for your user profile, and the AppData folder itself is hidden.
To use a different set of templates, you can copy them into the folder or add a shared folder to the templates path. The latter is what I prefer.
Like so:
- Make sure your templates store in the cloud is synced to a folder on your computer.
- start an OpenOffice app
- Select menu item Tools - Options
- In the left pane, expand the top branch (OpenOffice)
- Select the Paths node
- You get a pane on the right with a list of different paths. Select Templates and click the Edit... button
This is where you can also find the full answer to your other related query
- Click the Add... button, browse to your cloud-synced templates folder and click OK
- If you want new templates (Save as... Type=Template) to go in the new folder, click the circle (radio button) beside it.
- Click OK
