You can use it the same turn played. Creatures are only effected by summoning sickness.

As long as it's not a creature you can use it. If if were to be a creature (say, it was animated with the ability of Toymaker  or Karn, Silver Golem  ) then you would have to be concerned about whether or not it has been continuously in play under your control since your most recent start-of-turn. If a noncreature artifact is, by design, not intended to be used the turn it comes into play, they'll often try to enforce that by making the artifact in question come into play tapped. Like this other Elixir artifact  .

Correct. Even if they somehow turn into a creature, their loyalty abilities still are not affected by summoning sickness since they don't have the  or  symbols in the cost.

True, but their abilities don't require tapping anyway, and they can't attack.
But if they do turn into a creature, then they can't attack the turn they come into play.

Gideon Jura  can use his 0 ability the turn you cast him, but he cannot attack

Yes, he is still a planeswalker. But what matters for summoning sickness is being a creature. Whatever other types the permanent also has is not relevant.
