John AkiAre you done?

Correct. It is a colloquial way of saying "Are/Have you finished?"

John AkiI am done it / you are done it

Ungrammatical.

John AkiHave you done it? I have done it / you have done it / he has done it. (Means finished it)

These are all correct English. "done" can mean finished or completed or achieved (something). Depending on context, these sentences could also refer to someone's experience of having done something at least once in the past.

John AkiAre you been done? I am been done / you been done

Ungrammatical.

John AkiHave you been done? I have been done / you have been done / he has been done.

These are all possible; the interpretation of "done" depends on context. E.g. it could mean "swindled", or it could refer to some service or procedure being completed.
