Corn starch does not trigger the autoimmune response in celiac disease. It contains a form of gluten (a type of combined grain protein), but not the same form as wheat, barley, rye, kamut, spelt, and triticale.
If the corn starch is not contaminated, it is safe for celiacs.

The two primary ingredients in tempura batter are cornstarch and flour. When following a gluten-free diet, it is advised that you choose a cornstarch that is certified gluten-free. Although cornstarch can be assumed to be free of the gluten protein, if it is processed in a facility and/or on equipment that also processes wheat products, it may be subject to contamination. As far as the flour goes, anyone in pursuit of a gluten-free lifestyle should choose wheat flour alternatives, such as rice or corn. So, if you select certified gluten free corn starch and a rice or corn flour, you can be certain that your tempura batter is gluten free.

Yes, I do believe so, I came here looking for this answer myself and after a bit more research I discovered this link: http:/www.coeliac.com.au/gluten-free-diet-information.html it states on there that maize is gluten free. Maize, i.e. corn, is gluten free, but maize flour, i.e. corn flour or corn meal might not be. Wheat flour is commonly added to corn flour and corn meal to enhance its binding quality for baking. Be sure to check the package to ensure that it says "Gluten-free." If it does not say that, check the ingredients to see if any wheat or wheat by-products have been added.

In North America, modified food starch is safe for celiacs. In other countries, you must contact to find out which starch it is from.
