How to get the physics engine to wraps a string around the moving part of a motor constraint?
The simplest way to simulate rope or string is using a Soft Body simulation on a row of vertices and add thickness with Skin and Subdivision Surface modifiers. You can use the Soft Body Goal to pin ...

Cloth collision with an object
For rigid body and cloth/soft body simulations there are a number of things you need to be careful of.
For the Rigid Body simulation you need to ensure you select the correct 'Shape' for the Rigid ...

What causes this weird collision?
There is a difference between the shape of the mesh, and the shape used for collision detection. Often a mesh is too complex to allow for real-time collision detection.

How to make an (open) object behave like rubber when penetrated by another
You could use cloth physics for the deformation part.
Pin the corners or edges of the rubber object so it keeps its shape by adding it to a Vertex Group. Let the physics do the rest.

Piping cream through a piping tip
To expand on my comment, and if you only need the moment the cream passes through the tip, an easy way to fake it would be to pass a cylinder through a lattice.
