>Europe is used by most EU people as meaning the European Union.

No. Not by this European and it's almost universal to be specific when you talk about these things. That some would say "Europe" but really mean "the set of countries which are part of the European Union" is so rare that I can't recall anyone doing that (except people from outside Europe. That does happen sometimes).

"Europe" to Europeans means the geographical area called Europe.

Probably depends on the country then, but it happens all the time in France, Belgium and even the UK.

I'd say it's even rare in France to say "Union Européenne" instead of just Europe, unless it's in a quite formal context.
