Natural fire is none of those things, so a ghost can pass through a burning building merrily. Nor is a fire elemental any of those thing. Elementals don't have a rule that makes their attacks "strike as magic weapons". Getting hit by an elemental isn't magic damage. Burn is an extraordinary ability (i.e. non-magical), so the special rule doesn't apply either.

Maybe the rule should be different, and it is a simple house rule if you prefer magic elementals, but by RAW the answer is no.

What about a Pyrokineticist using the Burning Infusion? Their kinetic blast is a Spell-Like Ability, would this cause the incorporeal creature to catch on fire?
