I think most if not all shocks have fluid in them. Many aftermarket shocks are gas charged, which keeps a high pressure inside the shock. This high pressure helps to keep the fluid inside from foaming and possibly boiling (low pressure = low boiling point, if you get too high in a hot air balloon or something your blood will boil).
All shocks have fluid (oil) in them. The difference is in the tube design and gas pressure.
There's bi-tube and mono-tube. Bi-tubes have low pressure gas, usually nitrogen, and mono-tubes are high pressure gas filled.
