Most creatures in D&D 5e have specifics on what attacks or weapon damage types they are resistant to. For example:
Damage Resistances: Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing From Nonmagical Attacks
However, the description of the Flameskull entails resistance to piercing damange without the phrase "From Nonmagical Weapons/Attacks":
Damage Resistances: lightning, necrotic, piercing
—Flameskull, Monster Manual, pg. 134
Wouldn't that mean the Flameskull is resistant to magical piercing damage as well as non-magical piercing damage?

It is resistant to all piercing
As you've noted in the flameskull, they are resistant to:
Lightning, Necrotic, Piercing
Because there is no qualifier for only piercing from a non-magical source, it is resistant to any piercing damage.
Better bludgeon or slash it. Just don't use cold, fire, or poison - it's completely immune to those.
