Kevin,

I think you are thinking of the rear brakes, and what you say is correct when applied to them.

The thin paper gasket on the front between the backing plate and the spindle serves another purpose, and I am not sure what it is. Maybe it is just a moisture/water barrier?

It is easy to make a replacement gasket at home in your garage.
