Can anyone point me to an overview of PostgreSQL geometry ?

What do you mean? An Overview about PostgreSQL? Okay:
http://www.postgresql.org/about/

Or geometric datatypes? Okay:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/datatype-geometric.html

However, I was thinking in terms of how and where the geometric datatypes

Try www.postgis.org

A third party add-on to Postgres implementing OGC SFS compliant
functionality. This is more complete & useful that the built in Postgres
spatial data support.
