they should all have gaskets and you should always replace them.

My truck is nearly at 80k so I cleaned my TB last weekend. There is a little gasket in there. I just wiped the area and it still looked in good shape so I left it.
Wouldn't hurt to replace it though and I believe it is "recommended" to throw a new one on anytime you clean it. But I haven't had any problems
