another good question to ask with this is about Lightning Dmg, does it have armor penetrations aswell, or does that need to be listed?

No, they don't have added armor penetration. They just change your damage from physical to elemental (in this case earth or lightning). It's always good to have some type of elemental weapon to switch to if you need it, depending on the armor tpye of your enemy.

The lightning one I can understand people getting confused on. Almost all lightning spells have that bonus. But Earth ignoring armor? Only 2 of the 7 damage-dealing spells in that line do that, and both have major downsides!

You didn't make the slightest effort to search for an answer before posting. I wonder why people are not interested in posting an answer.
How to ask questions the smart way

The search button says no. Damage type doesn't ignore armor, but various spells do ignore armor.

You can even get more details through this link.
