All of these tiny couches have even tinier blankets over the back, mostly made to look like quilts!!
Considering the price of yarn, this is probably as big of a crocheted couch as most people could afford.
I'm not an expert at fabrics, but the bottom right one is clearly different. I'm guessing it was knitted?

There's a bunch of diferent knots you can crochet for different looks

I do love a numbered list

If there's three things I hate; 1. It's a numbered list and B. People messing up the list

Bottom right looks like a different crochet stitch, maybe double crochet into back loop? The others have more of a shell pattern.

is it possible a loom was used for the last one? or some kind of knitting machine.

I'm not too familiar with what loom knitting results in, but my guess is still crochet. You can see where the yarn is twisted into a taller stitch (knitting tends to use many small stitches instead to create patterns) and how the stitches aren't exactly aligned (taller crochet stitches sometimes slant when you turn the work). Compare the back of the couch (it's oriented the same as if you were actively working on it) to this: (https://nordichook.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PinVID_Double_crochet_blo-683x1024.jpg)
