Two equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in O3. These structures involve adding a double bond between each pair of oxygen atoms in alternate arrangements.

Lewis dot diagrams represent electron distribution within a molecular compound. Lewis dot structures are a simple way to show how electron pairs are involved in bonding and which atoms are being bonded in a compound.
yes, diatomic and polyatomic ions can both be expressed in electron dot diagrams, or as your reffer to them; Lewis structures.
For bonding between atoms we usually show the dot-cross diagram representing the outer most electrons of bonded atoms.
For SO3, two equivalent resonance structures are sufficient to describe the bonding.

A single Lewis structure can be used to represent the bonding in SeF2O.

SeBr2O only has one lewis structure. you can fill all of the lone pairs without having to use a double bond (double bonds are why there are equivalent lewis structures)
