What is the difference between STATISTIC_BYTES_IN / STATISTIC_BYTES_OUT
and - STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_BYTES_IN / STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_BYTES_OUT
I need to monitor the total thr...

As I mentioned above, the STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_BYTES_IN/OUT are the bytes that have gone in and out of the internal network. The ASM module on BIG-IP is still internal to the box so the server side stats aren't necessarily the same as those in/out of AS if you have that module enabled.
Here's a diagram to help out things in perspective
(bytes_in) (server_side_bytes_out)
-> ->
Browser(ext) BIG-IP Server(int)
<- <-
(bytes_out) (server_side_bytes_in)the numbers for server_side and external bytes in/out can be different if you have BIG-IP modify any of the content.
So, the answer is no that you should not sum up the bytes_in/out with the server_side_bytes_in/out or you will effectively double the total number of bytes. I would recommend summing the STATISTIC_BYTES_IN and STATISTIC_BYTES_OUT on the external interface to give an effective total bytes in/out.
