Barefoot runners' feet usually strike the ground further up on the foot, near the toes. They are in contact with the ground for less time. Most people are heel strikers so the back of their foot hits the ground first.

Is barefoot running safe for all foot types?

It can be safe for all foot types, but only in moderation. I'm sure there are some people who are unable to run barefoot, but for the most part, all foot types should be able to run barefoot. If you are going to run barefoot, you have to work into it slowly, no matter what type of feet you have. You would have to limit your first few runs to probably under 20 minutes and slowly build up time or distance.
