In the board meeting of a company, is it customary to note in minutes if a board member arrived late? Is there any difference between someone coming a minute late, and another coming five minutes late? How about someone leaving early? What are standard practices?

Not in our board meetings. All that goes in the minutes are things relevant to the business; primarily issues or questions considered and decisions made (or narrowed, or not made), and the particular vote.
When people arrived is irrelevant; if somebody is not there for a vote, mark them "not present". The same for discussions tabled without a vote.
I don't care if somebody arrives in bathing suit wearing a snorkel, it is not relevant to their ability to do business.
If they arrive late, leave early, disappear in the middle for half an hour, whatever.
