I have created a DirectQuery connection with SQL Azure Database. I am using Power BI (free) for this.

I want to confirm whether any change in my database automatically refreshes the reports/dashboards?

    Yes and no. Since you are using DirectQuery, you are querying the data live. So, there is no automatic refresh, each time you view the report/dashboard it is querying the database and coming back with the latest information.
