How many lobbies do exist?

Any others?

The ASE lobby.
Though I don't know how that exactly works. It's still officially said that ASE_Register=1 doesn't work in the soldat.ini however the ASE seems to have a list of soldatservers. I don't know if ASE is a lobby on it's own or just fetches the serverlist off another lobby and then queries each individual server, which would be quite inefficient. I guess ASE is a lobby on itself but I'm not sure.

I always figured ASE got it's list of servers from actual soldatservers connecting to it and posting their info. Whenever I run mine It says 'Server added to ASE lobby' or something like that, and I had to forward ports through my router for it to work. This leads me to believe it is it's own separate lobby.

@Avarax: The only lobbies I know of are ASE and the two you mentioned, and the new one FLAB is working on that will be released with 1.4

Where does it say that? ASE_Register=1 has worked for a long time now; when it wasn't working it only wasn't working on Linux but that was fixed sometime after EnEsCe got the server code. So it's been working for a very, very, long time.

Chrisbgk: Oh, then someone should change the wiki article and selfkill.com articles. I think it might be in the online Soldat Manual too, but I'm not sure.

ASE is a lobby.
The special ports you have to open are for ASE queries. When you're registering your server at the ASE lobby I think it only sends the IP and PORT of your server. Then ASE queries the game info via soldat port +123 (So if you use 23073 the ASE port will be 23196) and adds the information to your IP and PORT in the ASE Lobby.
Using this method you're able to refresh the information of a single server in ASE without refreshing the whole lobby.

I've changed the wiki article; I have no way of changing the selfkill article though. The online manual makes no mention of it working or not working; however the offline manual that comes with Soldat does mention this. That, however, is due to the age of soldat 1.3.1.
