No. In such sentences 'all' can be used for three or more people, 'each' for two or more.

To my way of thinking, it's "each on a different floor" or "all on different floors"—"each" for two or more, "all" for three or more. "All on a different floor" sounds nonsensical to me.

enoon "All on a different floor" sounds nonsensical to me.
It would make sense to me only in some context such as: The Germans were all on one floor of the hotel but we (The British) were all on a different floor. No matter how many people we are talking about, only two floors are involved.
