No, gypsum has a natural fire resistance due to the combined molecules of water which it contains. National Gypsum has never used asbestos in its wallboard products.
However, it did at one time use asbestos in some of its sprayed-on fire proofing products. That ingredient was removed from their formulation several decades ago.
