Bus Pass in Italy - What Does it Cover?

Hello!
I am struggling to comprehend the inclusions/exclusions to the bus passes. What is the difference between Cotral buses and atac buses? What is the difference between an FS train and a Cotral train? And where do the boundaries start and stop? I will be in Rome for a month, but while I am there I plan to visit Lido, Capranica (VT) and Sperlonga, areas outside of Rome. Are those locations included in the bus pass? I've visited www.atac.roma.it and www.cotralspa.it but I'm still confused. Thanks!

Thanks!
I took a better look at the atac website. Am I understanding that FS basically means Trenitalia (the major train company) and that I can use a weekly or monthly ticket on any trip on a regional train (1 trip for weekly), which of course prevents me from using the ticket to take me to Venice...? So when I look up train schedules on Trenitalia, as long as it R for Regional, it's covered?
