If so, why do they make them as round hooks instead of flat points where a jack would fit and obviously go? When I use a jack or jack stands with those hooks it doesn't seem secure.

Where do I put the jack stands then?

But it's impossible to jack up a car from one of the four points near the tires and then replace the jack with a jack stand as recommended. There would have to be two jack points near each other.

Those are for towing and strapping the car down when towing and from shipping.
To jack up a Honda properly put the jack under the back edge of the front wheel well or in front of the rear wheel well. If you look underneath you should see like a T where the metal is coming together. This would be a strong point

Ah! I'm blonde and I know this! Those are for towing my dear. You should NEVER jack up any car in the front or back. There are much more interesting ways to die. Also, there is a spot about a foot behind the front wheel well under your car on the frame that is tough to support jacking. And please, put blocks under it also, so that if your jack slips or is not in a good position, it will fall on the blocks, not your bean. Just don't put them under the gas tank, even though that "looks" like a stable place.

they are for pulling them along the assembly line and holding them down on the boat ride , put your jack stands under some " beefy " parts of the car , suspension mounting points , cross members etc. just be shure the car will not move when it is on the stand, give it a healthy shake when it's on the stand , before you get under , please do not play with your life , if unsure get advise from a Honda shop.

Those are recovery hooks for a wrecker to use to extract your vehicle from a ditch for example. Look in your owner's manual it will show you where the jack points are on your vehicle.
