Chances are yes, they are goners. Most houseplants are tropical, that is they orignated where temps don't fall below 60 or so. Exposure to cold can be deadly. But the answer above may hold some hope, depending on what you have, it may come back. You may have to cut the plant back nearly to the ground and IF the plant has a reserve energy crown, tuber, etc, it may return.
Hopefully the time spent outside wasn't too long, the temps weren't extreme and the plant will recover. I just wouldn't bet the farm on this.

It does depend on how long they were left outside for. The leaves will fall off beciause they basically have frozen and are acting like the leaves do in the fall.
However if it wasn't too long and the trunk or body seems ok them I would cut it gently ( ie prune it) and baby it for a few days
Just keep it in a comfortable place - warm and lots of light and wait and see.

It would really depend on the plant.
What kind of plants are they?
