yes. almost any opening.
Can g6 by black be automatically played in response to any white opening move without getting an opening disadvantage?
Is 1..g6 always playable?

YES! You do need to study it, though. Against some lines, playing off the cuff with moves that SEEM right to you can put you at a disadvantage. But for the most part, the Pirc/Modern/KID/Sniper, whatever you want to call it, is very versatile. You'll find yourself in a somewhat cramped position many times. Don't panic. That's the idea. Often, white will become ambitious due to overconfidence and play against his own position. That's when the g6 system really shines.
Except 1.b3

Well, I wouldn't like 1.b4 c5 as black. I don't even like 1.e4 c5 2.b4 as black.

Yes, those darn hypermodernists and their notion of letting white occupy the center. What were they thinking!?

According to 365chess, 1.b4 c5 is very favorable to black (.283/.283/.435).
I can tell you don't get it Niether in the Classical nor the Hypermodern is it a good idea to permit your opponent to set up the pawn duo in the center

I'm no expert, but really? Have you heard of the gruenfeld exchange variation?
Have you completely forgotten. 1.e4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 Bg7 7,Bb5+ c6 8.Ba4 0-0 9.Ne2 Nd7 10.0-0 e5. Twice in ten moves black has challenged White to keep him from establishing a central pawn duo.

I think the best way to stop white from setting up the pawn duo is 2...Nxe4, and it also wins a free pawn (which is a bit more important).
Apart from that there's a bunch of hanging pieces and illegal moves, but what does that matter?

That is a transposed English opening from the Alekhine Defense. That is not even the mainline for the Alekhine defense, and even then g6 is the 4th most common move in the <50 games played in that position (with a grand total of 3 games played - and 2 of them were wins for black).
Again, you need to pick up a book on hypermodern strategy.
It has nothing to do with the Alekhine's Defense. Not only does it contain a trivial typo that completely destroys the variation (and threw you off apparently, since the first move is totally plausible) the variation itself doesn't even prove anything.
