We've used dnsmasq on our SMB appliances for quite some time (since the transition from the legacy Safe@/Sofaware appliances).
As near as I can tell, we've been including dnsmasq in regular, non-Embedded Gaia for a number of years now (at least as far back as R77.x).
However, R82 is the first time dnsmasq has actually appeared in product documentation.
That would suggest it is supported in R82, at the very least.
While it definitely works in versions prior to R82, I'm fairly certain it's not officially supported.
Having said that, it's best to engage with your local Check Point office here.
