In gas or steam service you can get away with a non filled gauge in most cases, the exception might be on a compressor discharge where the high frequency vibration will shake a gauge to pieces. If its mounted off the line and connected with tubing it would probably be OK

Do you have the vendor include it with the gauge?
Does the vendor even have snubbers?
Do you give it a tag Number?
Do you put one on every gauge?
Does it show on the P&IDs, otherwise how does the contractor know to install one?
IMHO it's easier to specify a gauge with or without damping fluid, that's just one or two line items on the data sheet often at no additional cost.
Some clients have their own installation details but I haven't seen one asking for snubbers, not to say I won't.
