Do you need gasket glue to change a valve cover gasket or is the new gasket enough itself Why then does gasket glue exist?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on - A) what type of engine and B) what type of gasket. Older cars mainly used cork gaskets, so gasket sealant was a wise choice. New engines use rubber, some with metal bushings or spacers, so the typical "blue glue" as daddy used to call it isn't required.

Does a head gasket needs any kind of silicone or glue prior installation or just proper torque?

No never. Not if both surfaces are good, clean and true. I've never, ever, used sealant on a head gasket. If the surfaces are NOT true etc. then you should get them faced by an engineering firm. Always use a new gasket every time. Never use an old one. (The only exception is that the vehicle manufacturer says to use sealant in the manual.)
