Could I use it in npm (node js)?

Well, I think npm is more suitable for server-side packages, while LoadingOverlay is a client-side jQuery plugin, so a CDN would be a better option.
I've already submitted a request to publish it in jsDelivr CDN, I think it's a matter of days before you will be able to include LoadingOverlay in your project using that CDN.

It might also be useful to submit this project to bower. I use gulp to manage resources, and pulling up to date packages directly from bower makes the whole process a lot easier.

I had completely forgot about this thread, my bad!
In the meanwhile I've got some jQuery libraries of mine accepted by jsDelivr, but I haven't found the time to upgrade the documentation on my website to include the references yet.

You can inlcude the latest jQuery LoadingOverlay version using the CDN link in a <script> tag:
//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.loadingoverlay/latest/loadingoverlay.min.js

Or, in alternative, request a specific version like that:
//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.loadingoverlay/1.4.1/loadingoverlay.min.js

I'm not very fond of bower and similar repositories when it comes to client side libraries, but I will surely look into it.

Here you go:

npm
npm install gasparesganga-jquery-loading-overlay

Bower
bower install gasparesganga-jquery-loading-overlay

I tried use it in Meteor JS.

Uncaught TypeError: $.LoadingOverlay is not a function(…)

But don't know how to import/required.
Please help me.

Please provide some details about the code you are using. Are you sure you have included jQuery and LoadingOverlay in you HTML template?
I'm no Meteor expert, I think the best option is asking a question on StackOverflow where many experienced people will be able to help you with your code.

Could I use import or not?

import {$} from 'meteor/jquery';
import 'gasparesganga-jquery-loading-overlay';

Template.test.events({
    'click .js-loading' (event, instance) {
        $.LoadingOverlay("show");
    }

I've got absolutely no idea since I've never used Meteor.

Please refer to meteor documentation or, as I suggested before, ask a question on specialized communities like Stackoverflow.
