There is only one single International Dateline on the Earth. That's why it's called the "international" one ... it applies equally to any person, from any country, who crosses it, or uses it in his geographic calculations. Santo Pekoa International Airport on Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu is located at 15.508° south latitude 167.219° east longitude. That location is about 18 degrees or 1,200 miles due west of the International Dateline.
Since the Earth is roughly spherical (shaped like a ball), you can start out in either direction from the IDL and eventually wind up in Vanuatu. The trip is much shorter, however, if you travel generally westward from the line.
Samoa is located just east of the International Date Line. This positioning is significant because in 2011, Samoa shifted to the west of the date line to align its time zone with other Pacific islands.

The international date line is a line of longitude roughly located at 180 degrees. It marks the two different days of Earth, where 24 hours is added or subtracted when one crosses the line.
