Question is in the topic title.
Even if there are minor differences, I would like to know them.

You can hide or show an object using HIDE OBJECT and SHOW OBJECT, and you can find out if it has been hidden or not using the OBJECT VISIBLE command.

OBJECT IN SCREEN will tell you if the object is visible and within the boundaries of the player's active camera.
