Answer

I think all of these could be used in the same way. Something has been going on, some planning, some discussion, and one person was left out of the discussion. Then it is revealed that some one else was left out of the planning or discussion as well. No one included them in on the matter. They were "in the dark". They wonder why they were left out, and were not included in the whole matter. They had no idea that this was planned, discussed, agreed on, or debated.

Answer

They're all correct and used in times when someone isn't informed about something, but the idiom "out of the loop" isn't really used that much.
