Your definitions are way off. If the LOS is A10, and I'm at A15 and throw a pass to a receiver at the A5, is that a forward pass? It was towards the line of scrimmage... You will not find the term lateral defined in any football rulebook, either.
Incidentaly, it's hook and "lateral". The receiver runs a hook, and then "laterals" the ball to a teammate.
