Does a gas dryer have to have its own dedicated gas line?

it does not have to have a separate line from the utility...but it typically has a line running from the already existing line within the home... like remove an elbow from the furnace line and install a tee, then a shutoff valve, then the line to the dryer. After the line arrives in the viscinity of the dryer, it should have another shutoff valve prior to connection to the dryer. Local codes may require additional fittings ot shutoffs... we love our gas dryer... wouldn't have an electric model...

When converting from a downdraft electric cooktop to a gas cooktop can the gas line go through the downdraft opening?

No. There is a possibility, no matter how remote, that flame from the cooktop could enter the downdraft opening. If there's a gas line in there, bad things will happen, need I say more?
