None of those fasteners are rivet nuts, the submission topic.
Most of them cannot be installed blind; they require a mating piece on the other side to push into.
Rivet nuts don't require access to the opposite side. In all likelihood, they cannot be made of plastic; they depend on the the deformation of metal on the blind side forming a rigid bead which holds the part firmly place.
