You can do it with just one style:

Go to Format -> Page

1. Make sure the document has odd and even pages: in the "Page" tab, in
the "Layout settings" group, pick "Page layout" "Right and left" or
"Mirrored".

2. Either for header or for footer, go to its tab in the same dialog,
and 
  a) Enable it, by checking the "Header on"/"Footer on" checkbox
  b) Enable different header/footer for odd and even pages by unchecking
  "Same content left/right"


Now you will have headers on your pages, and editing the header of an
odd page only changes odd pages, same for even pages.


For mixing and centering, I suggest tabs too. It seems headers already
have two tab stops defined (at least here with the default template):
exactly the ones you need to have left, centered and right text in one
like.
