You will not have to unlock it again for any of those situations.

Yes, once a device is SIM unlocked, it stays that way (unless it is relocked manually).
So would I receive my updates direct from htc like a sim free handset or would the updates then come from the carrier the handset was originally locked to?

The update would come from the carrier but if you change carriers before you receive the update, you will not receive the update. It's better to update first, then unlock.
So let me get this right the handset is currently on orange but if I unlock it and put a Vodafone sim in it then I won't be able to update it to ics? Would I not even get the update from Vodafone? Or could I not get it by putting an orange sim back in after it's been unlocked and orange release the update

Vodafone may not have the update for that device. Yes, you could place your Orange SIM in it to receive the update if you don't receive it via Vodafone..

Once you sim-unlock your phone it will stay that way no matter what you flash. The only time the sim gets locked is if you get a new phone.

By unlocking you mean from the carrier? If you update, you should receive the update from the carrier you are on.

Well if you aren't using AT&T anymore, then you can't use AT&T updates.

you can find all the updates you'll ever want or need here on XDA
The One has Great Developer support
since i bought my htc ONE that it hasn't updated OTA anytimes. i often check software update, but it inform to me no available update. so i have to update it by PC or zip file.
my ONE is unlocked by code when i bought, because i am living in Viet Nam.
You wont get any updates from att using another network in another country

As has already been said. You can only get OTA updates for an ATT phone over the ATT network. It will not work over other networks since they do not supply the update in the first place. The update comes from ATT.
Furthermore it would need to be stock even if you wanted to get an OTA here in the US. With it being unlocked it would still not receive updates.
If you have S-OFF, you can manually flash ota update.zip via stock recovery.
Actually I have the same problem, but in my case i AM connected to AT&T network.... any ideas on whats going on?

Are you stock or custom? Only complete stock will be able to receive OTA's.

If by unlocked you mean the bootloader, then no you wont get OTA with an unlocked bootloader. If you mean unlocked as in the international M8 then yes you would get OTA.

False. OTA will work fine with unlocked bootloader. But you need to have custom recovery and no system files altered.
Also, you will only get AT&T OTA if on AT&T network. Sine the OP is SIM unlocked, I'm assuming the device is being used on a different (not AT&T) network. But the device can be updated by RUU. RUU is available for 4.4.3 (hopefully 4.4.4 will be available soon) here:

You can receive OTAs while being on another providers network. I updated mine to 4.4.3 while I was in Europe before they pulled it.

Were you roaming on AT&T's network?
I've seen a couple reports here and there like yours. But for the most part, I've seen many (probably dozens of) instances of folks (on XDA and on AT&T forums) using AT&T devices on foreign carriers and not getting OTA.
As the OP has already missed 2 OTAs I'd say its reasonable to say he isn't going to get an OTA.

No, I was using a foreign sim and at that time I was on wifi since the edge network is horrible.

Okay, its on 1.58 at least. If it was still on 1.54 and you didn't get a notification to update to 1.58, it would be safe to conclude you can't get any updates. So there is still a small chance, I suppose. Although I wouldn't bet on it.
