Roger is very much so ICAO standard terminology and means, I acknowledge receipt of your transmission.

It is NEVER a clearance, in no part of the world.

The required clearance would read: In case of go around climb to and maintain FL80.

I hope your airborne appearance is limited to simulator skies, otherwise I suggest to revisit an ICAO phraseology RT lesson asap.
