Or do people typically round up or down to the nearest 5, eg 190cm,
160cm?

No - it would be a detailled number. The gaps are too big, compared to a
height indication in foot&inch.

One inch is 2,54 cm so rounding up or down inches should lead to
a bigger gap than with the metric system. 4 inces more or less
are more than 10 centimeters difference.
