First, lines and rays cannot be congruent because they do not have both end points defined. Not having an end point define means we cannot talk about their length so they can't be congruent. Line segments, however, can be congruent. Congruent line segments NEED NOT be parallel.
Furthermore, if two line segments are parallel, that does not mean they are congruent since parallel line segments may not have the same length.
Congruent line segments would be ones that are the same length.

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent?

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is the transversal postulate. So the answer is the lines would be parallel. This means that the statement is true.
