vars automatically resolve to their value for convenience, however you
can access the var using (var x) or use the shorthand #' notation
which does the same thing:
user=> (var? #'a)
true

(def r (ref 5))
user=> (isa? clojure.lang.Ref (class r))
true
Notably in this example r is actually a var, but is holding a ref as
its value.
So to write your function
(defn my-deref [x]
(if (or (isa? clojure.lang.Ref (class x))
(isa? clojure.lang.Agent (class x))
(isa? clojure.lang.Atom (class x)))
@x
x))
user=> (my-deref (ref 1))
1
user=> (my-deref (atom 1))
1
user=> (my-deref 1)
1
user=> (def x 2)
user=> (my-deref x)
2
