If On is used to say we as a group with which you're familiar with and are part of, does that mean saying it for other groups or just random groups of people means it becomes "One Or People" ? And do French speakers receive it as so ?

Use of On
This question relates to:French lesson "On can mean either we/one/people (French Subject Pronouns)"
Asked 3 years ago
"on" is used in place of "nous" in everyday French. You can't use it for groups that you're not part of. Even if used in the impersonal (and original) sense -- meaning "one" or "people" or "mankind" -- you are, strictly speaking part of all those groups.
To determine what "on" means, the more colloquial "we" or the more proper "one", you have to look at context.
