Is a smokedetector base used when mounting flush in a hung ceiling? Thanks.

Short answer: yes. Slightly longer answer, there are no detectors that I am aware of that don't require a base of some sort. So, whether it's exposed on a joist, in a drop ceiling, or in a hard ceiling, you're going to have a base.
