What happened to the records in Ruszt (Sopron/Burgenland)?
Concerning these records:
There are very large gaps within them. Have they been lost permanently or are those years present in another Parish?

Ruszt is on neither Wikipedia's nor MACSE's lists of lost registers.
Kálniczky says 1851-1895 for what's on microfilm at the MNL for both Roman Catholic and Lutheran, with no indication of what happened to earlier years. (It says the RC church was built between 1674 and 1685, and the Lutheran one in 1722.)
The MNL's online catalog (Adabázisok Online) says:
RC mixed 1872-1895 (listed three times, identically as far as I can tell)
RC mixed 1851-1859
Luth mixed 1851-1859
Luth mixed 1880-1895While (as you linked), FS says it has:
RC: mixed 1851-1895
Luth: mixed 1851-1859, 1880-1895Modulo that cataloging hiccup at Adatbázisok Online, it looks to me like they're all listing the same material, and none of them give any indication of where to look for the missing years.
I ventured into the Images section for cataloging and found some 20th century death records from what appears to be the Lutheran church in Ruszt (film 110898223: https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/110898223?cc=1393793&i=0); I don't have time to play with it, but it may be worthwhile to explore whether any of the "adjacent" film numbers yield any other relevant records. (Given the length of the numbers, these are all much too new to show up in the Catalog.)

This is a bit unusual, considering documentation is extensive for this area and that the individuals I'm interested in finding data (1820s-1830s and 1860s-1870s) were very important for the town:
