"latex" example of the Space/Time Warp

Let me hope I can pose this Question 'correctly'.
I understand the - Space/Time warp, keeping our moon in its path around Us. And Us around the Sun Etc.
However, thinking about it - after visualizing the Latex example to illustrate the concept - it comes to mind, that this Time/Space Warp - has to be 3 dimensional (Not two)
If that is the case , why are the orbits - mostly in two dimension? Why does the moon, for example not orbit the earth, in a multitude of orbits. (East/West North/South
and countless other orbits.
I know the 'Latex' example is flawed, but --- what am I missing here? Is not the Space/Time Warp all encompassing (in three dimensions) a large mass such as ourselves, or the Sun's. Why then, such limited directional orbits.
PS . sure which Alex were here to 'set me straight"
