I have a question: if a creature has Damage Reduction, do its natural weapons count as the type that bypasses it (For example, if a creature has DR 10/magic, do its natural weapons count as magical for the purposes of bypassing DR? Also for DR/good or evil)?

No, not unless the creature description explicitly says so.

It does for damage resistance */magic. Nothing else is a default though.

If the creature has DR /magic, its natural weapons count as magical.

Alignment depends on subtype. The natural weapons of a demon withthe [evil] subtype count as evil weapon.
Natural weapons only penetrate material DR (like /silver) when the creature has a special ability which says this like the monks Ki Strike at lvl 16.
