рядом = nearby, not far
вон - just for decoration, makes speech more alive, and could be skipped

I think, the closest in meaning is probably "right", as in:

вон рядом => right nearby
вон там => right there
вон туда => right over there

Something like that.

it's rather a matter of what part of the statement you wish to emphasize
