An ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer is used to display a map service in a JS API app and is collection of one or more layers. As a result, dynamic layers don't have a geometry type but individual layers in the map service do have a geometry type.

Take a look at the Census map service on one of our sample servers: http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer

There are four layers, each with a geometry type. You can get an individual layer's geometry type by sending a request to that layer's endpoint, for instance: http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer/0?f=pjson

We have a sample showing how to retrieve individual layer info. To get geometry type, you would use the same code shown in that sample but instead of pulling out field info, you'd pull out the layer's geometry type.
