If they are like gaskets used for surgical trays then endless just means you have to cut to size and ends must be joined or overlapped . The other type is made to the specific size and there are no ends, it is just a ring. There are other kinds of gaskets of course including ones that are semi liquid when applied and have to set .

Toyota camery 1993 3.0 on water pump can the screw leak behind thermostat?
I'm not sure what "screw" you are referring to,but any gasket joint can leak at the mating surfaces and/or past the fastener threads. If you are replacing the thermostat, you might want to use the OEM gasket. Probably a neoprene gasket. I have never had the OEM gasket to fail. You have to watch how much you tighten these fasteners. They don't require very much torque.
What is a gasket what are different types of gasket?
A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two objects, generally to prevent leakage between the two objects while under compression. Gaskets save money by allowing "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts which can use a gasket to fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene). Gaskets for specific applications may contain asbestos. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities. Many gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly.(taken from gasket article from wilipedia)
