Soulsphere's abilities are global effects and do not target, making Ability Shield monsters fair game. This also includes the Ability Shield monsters you control.
If a Red Goop is to the left of Soulsphere, its ability will trigger first and it will return to hand before being destroyed and added to the count. However, if it is to the right of the Soulsphere, it will be destroyed.
If a player has multiple Soulspheres, only the leftmost one will have its counter increased.
As all your monsters are destroyed at the end of turn, monsters with Speed Summon will still allow you to do damage to your opponent. Because of this, Plateau of Shades provides a very nice synergy with it.
Monsters with Boss are immune to the automatic destruction ability of Soulsphere, and do not add to the counter value.
