As far as I have read in numerous code books there was nothing about regular drain.There are storm drains, sanitary, indirect , and waste lines BUT no regular drains so I reckon that the answer would be no

What type of caulk to use for toilets?

You don't use caulk on a toilet. Between the tank and the bowl there is a foam gasket, to seal it to the drain in the floor, you use a wax ring. Either put the ring on the bottom of the toilet or on the drain and sit the toilet straight down on it. Make sure it is thick enough to make a good seal, there is the regular thickness one, an extra thick one and if needed, you can stack two on top of each other.
