That doesn't look like a Dot product at all, since it operates a 3x2  
matrix on a 2x3 and gets a 3x3.

So... to find out what's really happening:

a = Array[f, {3, 2}]
b = Array[g, {2, 3}]
{rowsA, colsA} = Dimensions[a];
{rowsB, colsB} = Dimensions[b];
r = Table[0, {rowsA}, {colsB}];(*where the result of A.B goes*)For[
  i = 1, i <= rowsA, i++,
  For[j = 1, j <= colsB, j++,
   For[ii = 1, ii <= rowsB, ii++,
    r[[i, j]] = r[[i, j]] + a[[i, ii]] /@ {b[[ii, j]]}]]]
r
Dimensions@r

{{f[1, 1], f[1, 2]}, {f[2, 1], f[2, 2]}, {f[3, 1], f[3, 2]}}

{{g[1, 1], g[1, 2], g[1, 3]}, {g[2, 1], g[2, 2], g[2, 3]}}

{{{f[1, 1][g[1, 1]] + f[1, 2][g[2, 1]]}, {f[1, 1][g[1, 2]] +
     f[1, 2][g[2, 2]]}, {f[1, 1][g[1, 3]] +
     f[1, 2][g[2, 3]]}}, {{f[2, 1][g[1, 1]] +
     f[2, 2][g[2, 1]]}, {f[2, 1][g[1, 2]] +
     f[2, 2][g[2, 2]]}, {f[2, 1][g[1, 3]] +
     f[2, 2][g[2, 3]]}}, {{f[3, 1][g[1, 1]] +
     f[3, 2][g[2, 1]]}, {f[3, 1][g[1, 2]] +
     f[3, 2][g[2, 2]]}, {f[3, 1][g[1, 3]] + f[3, 2][g[2, 3]]}}}

{3, 3, 1}

That looks like an outer product of the rows of a with the columns of b.

Here's a somewhat similar structure (with one less low-level dimension):

Outer[h, a, Transpose@b, 1, 1]
Dimensions@%

{{h[{f[1, 1], f[1, 2]}, {g[1, 1], g[2, 1]}],
   h[{f[1, 1], f[1, 2]}, {g[1, 2], g[2, 2]}],
   h[{f[1, 1], f[1, 2]}, {g[1, 3], g[2, 3]}]}, {h[{f[2, 1],
     f[2, 2]}, {g[1, 1], g[2, 1]}],
   h[{f[2, 1], f[2, 2]}, {g[1, 2], g[2, 2]}],
   h[{f[2, 1], f[2, 2]}, {g[1, 3], g[2, 3]}]}, {h[{f[3, 1],
     f[3, 2]}, {g[1, 1], g[2, 1]}],
   h[{f[3, 1], f[3, 2]}, {g[1, 2], g[2, 2]}],
   h[{f[3, 1], f[3, 2]}, {g[1, 3], g[2, 3]}]}}

{3, 3}

It remains to figure out what "h" should be. A simple solution is

h[{a_, b_}, {c_, d_}] := a[c] + b[d]
Outer[h, a, Transpose@b, 1, 1]
Dimensions@%

{{f[1, 1][g[1, 1]] + f[1, 2][g[2, 1]],
   f[1, 1][g[1, 2]] + f[1, 2][g[2, 2]],
   f[1, 1][g[1, 3]] + f[1, 2][g[2, 3]]}, {f[2, 1][g[1, 1]] +
    f[2, 2][g[2, 1]], f[2, 1][g[1, 2]] + f[2, 2][g[2, 2]],
   f[2, 1][g[1, 3]] + f[2, 2][g[2, 3]]}, {f[3, 1][g[1, 1]] +
    f[3, 2][g[2, 1]], f[3, 1][g[1, 2]] + f[3, 2][g[2, 2]],
   f[3, 1][g[1, 3]] + f[3, 2][g[2, 3]]}}

{3, 3}

To get back the low-level (probably unnecessary) dimension:

h[{a_, b_}, {c_, d_}] := {a[c] + b[d]}
Outer[h, a, Transpose@b, 1, 1]
Dimensions@%

{{{f[1, 1][g[1, 1]] + f[1, 2][g[2, 1]]}, {f[1, 1][g[1, 2]] +
     f[1, 2][g[2, 2]]}, {f[1, 1][g[1, 3]] +
     f[1, 2][g[2, 3]]}}, {{f[2, 1][g[1, 1]] +
     f[2, 2][g[2, 1]]}, {f[2, 1][g[1, 2]] +
     f[2, 2][g[2, 2]]}, {f[2, 1][g[1, 3]] +
     f[2, 2][g[2, 3]]}}, {{f[3, 1][g[1, 1]] +
     f[3, 2][g[2, 1]]}, {f[3, 1][g[1, 2]] +
     f[3, 2][g[2, 2]]}, {f[3, 1][g[1, 3]] + f[3, 2][g[2, 3]]}}}

{3, 3, 1}

For your actual problem, that's

a = {{D[#1, x] &, 0 &}, {0 &, D[#1, y] &}, {D[#1, y] &, D[#1, x] &}};
b = {{x*y, x^3*y, 3*x + y^2}, {2*x, x^4*y, y^2}};
h[{a_, b_}, {c_, d_}] := {a[c] + b[d]}
Outer[h, a, Transpose@b, 1, 1]

{{{y}, {3 x^2 y}, {3}}, {{0}, {x^4}, {2 y}}, {{2 + x}, {x^3 +
     4 x^3 y}, {2 y}}}

which agrees with your nested For method.

The function h could be done differently, since it's analogous to

Inner[Compose, {aa, bb}, {c, d}, Plus]

aa[c] + bb[d]

For instance:

a = {{D[#1, x] &, 0 &}, {0 &, D[#1, y] &}, {D[#1, y] &, D[#1, x] &}};
b = {{x*y, x^3*y, 3*x + y^2}, {2*x, x^4*y, y^2}};
h = Inner[Compose, ##, Plus] &;
Outer[h, a, Transpose@b, 1, 1]

{{y, 3 x^2 y, 3}, {0, x^4, 2 y}, {2 + x, x^3 + 4 x^3 y, 2 y}}

That omits the low-level List, but it can be added in a hundred different  
ways. For instance,

a = {{D[#1, x] &, 0 &}, {0 &, D[#1, y] &}, {D[#1, y] &, D[#1, x] &}};
b = {{x*y, x^3*y, 3*x + y^2}, {2*x, x^4*y, y^2}};
h = Inner[Compose, ##, Plus] &;
Map[List, Outer[h, a, Transpose@b, 1, 1], {2}]

{{{y}, {3 x^2 y}, {3}}, {{0}, {x^4}, {2 y}}, {{2 + x}, {x^3 +
     4 x^3 y}, {2 y}}}
