Some of these services have native XMPP functionality, some run bots that you can "chat" with over XMPP (e.g., [email protected]), and others offer no XMPP functionality at all so you need to gateway. I can't claim to have studied the matter in depth, but AFAIK Laconi.ca instances use the bot approach. Twitter famously turned off its XMPP support a while back so I suppose true gateways would be needed for that. I am not sure about the others.
