In the first and last hands, no; the other, yes.
There was no need to play AAA in the second of the hands you gave- it's hard enough to win after the flop with aces without improving, and leaving yourself with only one card to hit will be -EV in the long run.
When the money is deep, it's often correct to limp AA in PLO. In both hands, however, where all the action was pre-flop, that wasn't the case, so you were at the mercy of the cards. Your play there was fine.

I agree there is nothing you can do about the 2 where you get it all in with AA preflop. You were pretty lucky to be up against KKxx, instead of 789T or 89TJ which are killers against AAxx. But then you got unlucky end of story.
With the other hand, maybe you overplayed AA there. I think AA in omaha with deep stack you might want to play a little slower there. Especially on the flop. When you make that substantial a re-raise you almost have to put one of the callers on kk. So you could have saved money there but that is an unlucky flop which left you drawing to 1 out. AA has cost me a lot by overplaying it in omaha so I learned to kind of take it slow. I actually think AA is my least favorite hand in omaha, you can make so much more off other random hands, omaha is a great game. Good luck
