Will a permanent that is phased out, 01 as back in if it somehow loses phasing beforehand?

Nope. I can't possibly think of a way you could have something lose phasing while it was phased out. You can't interact with phased out cards and phasing is a turn based action and cannot be responded to.

Okay...now that I think about it, I don't think I would make even make them lose phasing.
The thought I had was playing Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and then playing Shimmer naming Swamp, then bouncing the tomb back to my hand on my opponents turn. Or destroying or whatever. Doesn't matter. But I don't think that would cause them to lose it anyways bc they are "treated as if they don't exist" meaning they'd still have phasing anyway. ..I think.

Oh and just noticed a typo in my question, but you seem to have understood.

702.25a Phasing is a static ability that modifies the rules of the untap step. During each player's untap step, before the active player untaps his or her permanents, all phased-in permanents with phasing that player controls "phase out." Simultaneously, all phased-out permanents that had phased out under that player's control "phase in.".
Phased-out permanents always phase back in on their controller's untap step, regardless of whether they have phasing or not. However, a permanent can only phase out at this time if it has phasing or if an effect explicitly causes it to.
