Just take a straight edge to the block when you get the heads off, if it checks out, theres no need to deck it, if it ain't flat, you should deck it, or find a cheap shortblock.

I believe the TRS tech guys advise a set of new head bolts are mandatory with new heads if they don't come with the heads you purchase. I read this many times on TRS; correct me if I'm mistaken.

No, you are absolutely correct. The bolts stretch on first use, and cannot be reused.
