Nameless god who opened The Living Gate: ???, may not be one of above. (PHB III)
Torog: may have had a dominion before becoming trapped in Underdark.
The skull on the wand of Orcus is rumored to belong to a dead god of virtue and chivalry. This is unconfirmed. Amoth is one candidate.

Bane slew his brother, the god Tuern, and took over his astral dominion (from MotP and the Dragon article on Bane).

The vestige warlock powers mention the presumably dead gods Amaan, Kronata the volcano god, Karmath the Unmourned God, and Zuriel the god of wars of justice.
 



Lord of Kalandurren (Amoth)

Lord of Kalandurren (or Amoth) [LG God of Justice and Mercy] from Dragon #381 was slain by 3 Demons Lords if I remember correctly. I am assuming he had an Astral Domain.
 

Maybe you want to mention Carceri.

Though not occupied, it is used by several Dieties.
I forget them all, but they include Bahamut and Bane
 

You seem to be missing Khala, the goddess of Winter before the Raven Queen. She's described in a sidebar or two in Divine Power.


EDIT: And Io, dead dragon god now split in two.

The sidebar in Divine Power says that the Demon Lords were Orcus, Demogorgon, and Rimmon, and that Rimmon was destroyed by Amoth.
 


A few minor corrections...

Amon (god of justice/good): Kalanduren, Astral Sea (The Plane Above)

Amon should be Amoth. He was the god of mercy and justice.

He Who Was (god of law and good): Baator, Astral Sea (multiple sources)

He Who Was was the god of the sky, kingship, and wisdom. His realm was called Baathion (it became Baator after it was turned into a prison for the devils).

Tuern (god of war): ????, possibly Chernoggar (The Plane Above, MotP)

Tuern's dominion was, indeed, Chernoggar. It says right in the description of it that Bane took it when he overthrew Tuern. Tuern was a god of fire and conquest.

The God of the World (god of creation): Shom, Astral Sea (The Plane Above)

This should be God of the Word, not World.
