Please don't shout (all capital letters). Outcrossing and outbreeding mean generally the same - the prospective parents have no ancestors in common within a chosen number of generations.

Hybrid vigor is an increase in suitability to the task required that is frequently observed when two individuals, each of which is strongly inbred to a strain absent in the other, are mated.

Invasor is a Thoroughbred - that is his breed. His parents are Candy Stripes and Quendom. He was foaled in Argentina, but initially raced in Uruguay. He is a complete outcross, in that he has no repeated ancestors in 5 generations.
There is no such thing as too much Teddy.

Geisha is the dam of Native Dancer, so I'm not sure what you're after here.

I would think that the Polynesian/Geisha cross is kinda an outcross? There's some Domino blood in both in the background, but only one cross of it as far as I looked at Polynesian.

Swaps does have War Admiral in his pedigree so I'm not sure Asiatic Boy would be an outcross or not. Others are more versed in how much and how far back before it's considered an outcross. Interesting pedigree though. At least only one cross of Northern Dancer and doubled up on Swaps with the sire and Busanda with the mare.

Where does this horse stand at stud? Potential, almost outcross for all the "Dancer" blood in the breed.
