Planeswalkers are not creatures, so the 'summoning sickness' rule (CR 302.6) that prevents creatures from attacking or using tap abilities does not apply to them. A planeswalker that just entered the battlefield under your control this turn can immediately have its loyalty abilities activated, provided you meet the normal timing restrictions.
Loyalty abilities are a special category of activated abilities. Under CR 606.3, a loyalty ability can only be activated during your main phase, when the stack is empty, when you have priority, and only once per turn per planeswalker. You also cannot activate a loyalty ability if doing so would cause the planeswalker's loyalty to drop below zero (CR 606.5).
Additionally, you may only activate one loyalty ability of a given planeswalker per turn (CR 606.4), regardless of how many abilities it has. But there is no restriction based on how recently the planeswalker entered the battlefield.
Example: You cast Liliana of the Veil on your turn. She enters the battlefield with 3 loyalty counters. You are now in your main phase with the stack empty — you can immediately activate her +1 ability to make each player discard a card, even though she just arrived this turn.
