These information won't affect ASIC designers. Engineers in charge of layout and P&R will take care of that.
 

ptich is the allowed minmum distance between two metals of the same layer, but it is not the same with metal spacing
 

this affect a lot in P&R. It gives you the basic idea of routing resource.

If you have redundent routing resource, you can
wide the pitch to get better timing and yield.
