I'll be back before dinner => Dinner acts as a time reference

Let's discuss it over dinner => Dinner acts as a period of time

I'll see you at dinner => Dinner acts as a place

We are going out for dinner => Dinner acts as a purpose.

Are my interpretations of these prepositions with dinner correct?

Thanks!
