I hear it in movies so the time. We're going upstate. I went upstate. Etc
I never hear downstate, or similar. Does it just mean going north?

It's a New York thing to refer to the rural Northern and Western parts of New York State that are not New York City. No one (or at least very very few) outside of New York State uses it to refer to any other place.
New York the state or NYC?
Edit: I am terribly sorry for not knwing all citiies and to what state and where they belong on the us map as someone not from North America... 🙄
You're being downvoted because your question makes no sense. Both NYC and New York State are mentioned, so what are you even asking for clarification on?
