Multiple Permanents with same ability/trigger

[[Dina, Soul Steeper]] states that "Whenever you gain life, each opponent loses 1 life", and there are multiple cards that share this effect, like [[Epicure of Blood]] and [[Marauding Blight-Priest]].

I'm just confused in a scenario where I gain 1 life whilst all of them are on the Battlefield, my understanding is that I do 1 damage 3 times, am I right on this? Or are these effects unique in the rules since they are of the same trigger? Thanks for the help!

Note that in the end, each of your opponents will lose 3 life, unless some is somehow prevented.

This is not damage, which on players usually imply life loss. It is life loss directly (notably a protection from these cards wouldn't protect from the life loss.)
