As SirLud pointed out, It's an odd case of English usage but I asked this question back on X-Blazer who has similar effect text. Cause it was bonkers back then to deal 4 damage for 1 life.

Yes. Penetrate damage counts as damage from a card that has it, but it will not trigger any effect that says "When this card attacks and deals damage to your opponent".

My understanding is that the actual damage has to be Critical damage from a card, not effect damage of any kind.
