Yes, they're in degrees.

An upDownAngle==0 means you are looking straight downwards, the up/down and left/right angle values are used as in a Spherical coordinate system as shown here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system
upDownAngle is the angle the eye position is rotated downwards around the world xaxis, and left-right angle is the amount it swings left or right rotating around the zaxis.
> And what is tiltAngle?
tilt angle is the angle of rotation around the view vector, like the roll axis angle shown in this diagram (from Wikipedia):
> Are positive values of leftRightAngle left or right?
It should follow the right-hand rule with the orientation being the world z axis.
