Mine has one (V6 3.6 LE0), and it needs replacing because it has been pinched out of shape..

They dont have/need a gasket
Yes they do have and need one (At least for V6 3.6L LE0) - Without it, there is a small gap where air can be pulled through.

If you find where to buy these, please let me know! Or even the name of them...

And Holden had no listing?
Listing? What do ya mean.

It's a VZ Commodore, manufactured in Australia by General Motors Holden isn't it ?
Here's a really crazy thought......Try going into a Holden Dealership Parts Department
I can't see why they wouldn't have a listing for it

In the parts catalogue. So im guessing you haven’t even rung Holden to find the part number or availability of a random part.

They were useless and no help. Even after taking the vehicle in to them..

Anyone else able to shed some light?

The gasket is made from the thin stuff used in tool draw liners. Like a high density neoprene like material. I'd have a look round Clark Rubber for a similar material. Then cut your own.
Maybe try cork even?
One of the first skills dad taught me when I was 10 was how to make gaskets from serial boxes or similar (It was a long time ago).
Point being, be resourceful. The worst thing that can happen is it doesn't work and you are in the same position.
