[tlhIngan Hol] Can I use {Hur} on its own ?

There’s no right answer; use whichever best expresses your meaning.

I would say {HurDaq vIjaH} or {Hur vIjaH}.
I would use the {jaH}, because I think it expresses better the "I went". The way I understand the {ghoS} it expresses the "I approached/followed/went away from" depending on the presence of the suffixes {-Daq} and {-vo'}.

"I went outside."
What verb would you use? {ghoS} maybe? Or perhaps {mej}? Or maybe even {'el} (there are some natural languages, such as Tsez, where you can "enter the outside", and I like that expression).
Of course, I could be more precise and say {juHvo' jImejpu'}, but which verb would you use with {Hur}? Would you guys accept {Hur vI'elpu'}?

Would it be acceptable if I wrote:
{toH, juHwIjDaq vIjaHmeH HurDaq vIjaH net poQ}

So, the question is: Can words as {Hur}, {bIng}, {Dung} etc, be used
on their own, or is it necessary for them to refer to another noun, a
noun that will precede them ?

Sure, you can use them on their own. Just remember that their concepts are relative to something else, so some context is usually needed. You provide that in your example sentence because you're talking about being at your duty station before you talk about going outside. Outside what? Your duty station is obviously indoors, so you go out. Not a problem.
