So do we need to distinguish between interior and exterior with these terms?

According to the "Dictionary of Building Preservation" a skirt board is the same as a baseboard (18th-19th century use), although in the early 18th century it was also used as the name for an unnotched trim board closing the open side of a stair case.

In the 1951 book called "Carpentry" by Gilbert Townsend base and skirting are used interchangeably as the trim at the base of a wall, and "Building Construction" by Huntington (1929) has an illustration showing the same on page 605.
