Does this include all the bridges? So the users of the instance can combine other platforms to the same app, such as signal, instagram, twitter, whatsapp, irc, telegram and all that?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But my real question is can you run your own bridges with this homeserver?

Is there a whatsapp bridge?

Yes, but it is not being offered as a hosted service atm: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp https://element.io/element-matrix-store

You would not want some sort of popular Whatsapp bridge. That would an easy target for Facebook. It would likely be blocked.

Better for everyone to run their own bridges...
