This isn't a loose ball play. It's a running play. The play ended at the end of the run. The ball would go back to the previous spot if the pass had been a legal forward pass but it wasn't, no matter whether the penalty is accepted or not.

So if there is a penalty against offense on 4th Down that results in the loss of down and they do not reach the line to gain the defense gets the yardage and the ball?

Even if they reach the line to gain, the penalty could bring the ball back behind the line to gain.

In all of these cases?:
Offense Pass Interference: 15 yards from the previous spot loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
Intentional Grounding: 5 yards from the spot of the foul loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
Illegal Touching: 5 yards from the spot of the foul loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
Illegal Forward Pass: 5 yards from end of the run loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense

It doesn't matter which foul it is, it's all the same. If the penalty leaves the ball short of the line to gain, it's B's ball.
