Well can't that implied volatility be to the upside
as well as the down side ?


Yes.

isn't it tied to the "premium" or
spread so to say.


The premium is a function of volatility and time.

Like I thought it would be ether way, and
that a lot of call buying could spike it as well as put buying


Yes, in theory. In real life, OEX puts are primarily bought for hedging purposes.
