How can I tell? I've been peeking around and it's bugging me that it looks like black material where I think I should be looking at.

If it is, what are the chances of developing a problem with that better aluminum gasket?
Your 08' will be the aluminum gasket...In 04' they started fixing some of them, and didn't fix some of them...You are safe though, you shouldn't have any problem with the aluminum gasket. I would get a coolant flush when you think it's time though, just for the heck of it.
