There are some spells that makes targets "deals dmg" or "Takes dmg".So,does "Takes dmg" bypasses armor and so "deals dmg" does not?

Generally this is true although there are a few exceptions like Lightbringer's Gaze, the description stating takes damage but that damage being reduced by your's enemy's armor. Some skills which use deal damage in their description like [skill=text]Vile Touch[/skill] actually ignore armor.

untyped damage always ignores armor. Only typed damage (like fire dmg, piercing dmg, chaos damage (yes!), blunt dmg etc) is affected by armor.
So, a skill that reads 'target foe takes 50 damage' will bypass armor just as hard as a skill that reads 'deal 50 dmg to target foe'. Only if it reads 'deal 50 fire dmg to target foe' it's affected by armor.
