Two questions:
1) Does this indicate that the aircraft skins can be deformed for certain types of damage?
2) if we have minor collisions with other objects\ground will the aircraft get dented/deformed or pannels bents back?

The supposed damage look's very symmetrical for each wing, too symmetrical in fact. I don't think that would be very likely. Perhaps that is not damage that we are seeing. Good question on wether the metals will develope bend's...hope Oleg makes a comment on your question's.
edit:
on second thought, maybe the metal will bend, but only on a fixed, certain area of the aircraft, and any bend may have a fixed angle, always being the same in looks. Other than the props and flaps, I don't see any other bends
