Yeah, Star Trek held pretty much to real physics as there is no up or down in space. I think the Federation based all of their coordinates from Earth (0,0,0). "Khan" was a good example of this where Kirk took the Enterprise above/below Khan's ship since Khan thought only in 2D.
I have seen a few episodes where the ships pull next to each other and have to translate their position to match the other ship. Also, gravity was lost in the Klingon vessel in another Star Trek movie. I liked the purple Klingon blood globs floating around the ship.
