If a monster have for example, DR 5/- and player make no type damage (for example, damage from Inject Nanobots spell or a Psychic-Wave Cannon I weapon)
Does DR apply?

I take DR 5/- to mean it resists all of slashing/bludgeoning/piercing, but would not apply it to other damage types that don't specify, like these two.

Yep.

Damage reduction (DR) applies to kinetic damage—any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage—that a character takes, regardless of that damage’s source. It does not apply against damage with no damage type or any other damage type, including acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic, though these can be mitigated by energy resistance
