[Pinocchio][Terminator] Would a T-800 be turned into a donkey if it stayed on Pleasure Island?

It worked on Pinocchio, who was made of pine wood and explicitly not yet a “real boy.”

Follow-up, what really counts as “alive” for this purpose?

If memory serves, it's not just being on Pleasure Island that does it, it's forsaking your duties and indulging in the pleasures of the Island that eventually does you in. If the T is on Pleasure Island in active pursuit of it's primary objective, then it would not be in danger of transformation. Given how hardcore a T clings to it's objectives, it's probably going to leave the Island with the same body parts it had on arrival (or get destroyed trying to achieve it's aims).

As far as what counts as "alive", it seems the threshold is to have enough intelligence and free will to act on the same level as a human juvenile. To be condemned by the Island, you need to make a *free and rational choice* to give into it's temptations, knowing that what you're doing is wrong, even if you don't comprehend the full scope of the consequences. Pinocchio isn't "real", but he has a mind, and can comprehend his duties to follow his father's instructions.
