Is H2 an insoluble gas?
Are there any other examples of insoluble gases?

no, H2 is soluble in water. That is actually how you make HCl concentrated.

Remember you have to take into account pressures and other factors like temperatures when thinking about gases, i.e. nitrogen is soluble at certain pressures but at lower pressures it becomes gaseous again, the bends (divers), barometric chambers etc...so any gas can be made soluble depending its environmental conditions.

Many gases are insoluble. I would assume that all of the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, etc.) are not soluble in water as they have no polarity.

No it is soluble in water, the universal solvent, but is slightly more soluble in organic solvents than in water.

Not sure. Water just masks the gas. I don't think they are dissolved. Just hidden.
