No, lead is not magnetic. Lead is a diamagnetic material, meaning it creates a weak magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field.

What are the physics behind dropping a magnet down a metal pipe?

As a magnetic field passes by a ferrous material an electric current is created locally in that material, in this case the pipe. Anytime an electric current is produced that changes with time, a magnetic field is generated. The magnetic field that the pipe produces creates a force in the opposite direction of gravity. This magnetic field created by the pipe affects the magnet falling and creates a breaking force. This whole thing is refereed to as Eddy Currents.
