The “co” and the “com” are both shortenings of “commercial”. The national suffixes you listed are simply optional domains for if you want to reinforce the location of your website’s “stuff”.

But it’s all basically optional. When you buy a website, you can choose any domain you like with any suffix, with only a handful of exceptions that are dedicated to specific organisations (such as governments).
