Why are you reading the online copy of PiL, which is for a long-obsolete
version of Lua, rather than the _actual documentation_?

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#3.3.5

This makes it perfectly clear that:

 - the actual loop iteration variables are hidden and not accessible

 - any changes to the visible loop variable in the loop body have no
   effect beyond the end of the current iteration

The actual manual (as linked above) is precisely clear about this.
