(if i understood wrong, and they are not, would they lose an option if they played a game in AAA?)
Yep it doesn't matter if he plays or not. If he's on your 40-man, and he's sent to AAA during spring training, and you hit the "Finish Today" button so that he spends at least one OOTP day on the AAA roster, he will be charged an option.

For this reason, I usually keep track of the players I'm going to cut in a text file on my PC, but I don't actually cut them until a few days before opening day (or minor league opening day if it's earlier). That way if there's an injury that makes room for that guy I was originally going to cut, I didn't waste an option on him in spring training. I'll probably still have to use an option on him when the injured player returns later in the season, but it saves the option for the time being.
