If it is true that all bugs are insects but not all insects are bugs then which ones are considered bugs and why?
No. As odd as it may sound, the word "bug" is used scientifically to refer only to two suborders (Heteroptera and Homoptera) of the order Hemiptera. So cinch bugs, water bugs, bed bugs and cicadas are all "bugs", but lady bugs, potato bugs and doodlebugs, are not.
However, the word has its legitimate non-scientific meaning referring to just about anything that crawls, creeps, wiggles or squirms, and so the scientific "bugs" are sometimes called "true bugs".
