Nope it doesn't, that's why it's useless to use bunker doors above it. Just enclose it with bunker tiles.

Don't do this. Your rocket will destroy the bunker tiles.

Set up some sort of automation for bunker doors above your rocket do that they open on take off and close when he rocket lands

I think what he meant was line the silo with bunker tiles, and forgo the doors entirely. From what I've seen, the only vulnerable part of the silo is the gantries, and repairing them from the rare strike is sustainable and not too inconvenient.

I still feel it's better to have doors that shield the rocket, as launching the rocket wastes a lot of recoverable steam or CO2 and heat otherwise. You just need to understand the meteor seasons and time the landing properly with a water clock.

It does not get damaged. It can get entombed in Regolith though.

If you time the launch right the rocket will destroy the regolith as it falls on it. Launch right as your doors open. It also shows entombed message when in space and regolith clogs the starting pad but landing will destroy that as well.

True. As I just launch the rocket and then do something else and check back later, the rocket will usually get entombed though. Not that it would be a problem in any way.

Does rocket get damage when hit by meteors? I believe in the previous version it doesn't take damage but not sure on latest version

Still not implemented, no. Obviously when the game matures, rockets will take damage from meteors so best design with that in mind.
