It probably helps to specify ColorFunctionScaling->False. With ColorFunctionScaling->True (which is the default setting)
the arguments of the ColorFunction are scaled to lie between 0 and 1. When ColorFunctionScaling is False, the actual values of
x, y, and z are used. Note that since RGBColor expects its arguments to be between 0 and 1, you would then need to rescale
Abs[x] or x^2+y^2 in your examples by hand. So for your examples you would get
ListPointPlot3D[
Flatten[Table[{i, j, 0}, {i, -30, 30}, {j, -30, 30}], 1],
ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
ColorFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, RGBColor[Abs[x]/30, 0, 0]]]
and
ListPointPlot3D[
Flatten[Table[{i, j, 0}, {i, -30, 30}, {j, -30, 30}], 1],
ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
ColorFunction ->
Function[{x, y, z}, RGBColor[(x^2 + y^2)/(30^2 + 30^2), 0, 0]]]
