Do you think Fire Types by necessity always have an internal temperature higher than an adjacent non-Fire Type?

From Magcargo's pokédex entry: "Magcargo's body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact. If this Pokémon is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog."

Yeah. I think they do.

I personally think that only using Magcargo (a literal magma snail) to figure out if all Fire types have an INTERNAL temperature is rather dumb. Magcargo is (other than its shell) quite literally made of magma, meanwhile Cinderace is more akin to a Lopunny. According to Scorbunny’s pokedex entry, what are likely some sort of biological storage for its heat are on the bottom of its feet and above its nose (notice the yellow patches when looking at its design). Assuming these don’t move throughout each of its evolutions, you would only have to avoid footjobs and what is essentially its forhead.
