If an effect skips destruction effects against a particular piece type (e.g., "Heart-Tree Guards the Land" protecting Beasts), does it also protect pieces that count as that type (e.g., Presence that counts as Beasts due to "Settle Into Hunting-Grounds")?

Yes, but only from being destroyed as that type, not from being destroyed as a different piece type. E.g., Presence that counts as Beasts can still be destroyed at the Heart-Tree Incarna by effects that destroy Presence – they're only safe from effects that destroy Beasts.
