I was wondering if the logs in the /var/log directory (especially /var/log/messages) are automatically deleted after a certain period of time or when the log file gets to a certain size. Or, is this something that needs to be set up manually by the user using a cron job or something like that?

Some logs are, some aren't.  For details, examine:
/etc/logrotate.conf
/etc/logrotate.d/
