Yes, in this case, all those gaskets and fasteners should comply with SS material side of the specifications.
I am not sure if you can check out the piping specifications however, this is a must mention in there.

Piping specifications is always the reference here, however for dissimilar flanged joint, SS fasteners are used.

Thank you and I mistakenly wrote the joint as welded, supposed to be flanged.
