Ok, scenario: It's my opponent's turn, I have Luminarch Ascension and Garruk Wildspeaker (or any planeswalker really) on my field, Garruk is at 4 loyalty.
My opponent does nothing on his turn except sac two mountains to cast Fireblast targeting me and as per the rules of magic, redirecting the damage to Garruk to destroy him.
Does Luminarch Ascension get a counter?
My guess would be yes, because I'm not losing any life, but the Fireblast targets me and then the damage goes to Garruk, but I'm not sure.

Your guess is correct. You didn't lose any life, so Luminarch Ascension gets a counter.
