On my 01M it's a filter and it is not reusable.
The rubber seal can be reused to some extent (like if you open it up about 10,000 miles later), but I wouldn't put the original seal back on if it's been on there a few years.
And finally, when I first changed mine at about 60K, it was very dirty (as shown in the how-to). Since I didn't "flush" the entire transmission, I did it again 10,000 miles later and was surprised to see the fluid was still clean and honey-colored.
So, while flushing it would be ideal, if you haven't let it go too long, just changing the fluid in the pan is sufficient.
