For instance, is the 5.7L in the LX exactly the same as the 5.7L in the Land Cruiser? Is the 3.5 in the ES exactly the same as the 3.5 in the Camry XLE V6? I'm wondering because Lexus tends to specify premium gas, while Toyota tends to specify regular gas. Is the premium really needed, if it regular is good enough on the Toyota side?

The engines in the IS, GS, LS, new RX, and SC are Lexus specific but the engines in the LX, GX, and ES are the exact same as their Toyota counterparts.
The IS, GS, and LS have higher compression, direct injection engines that truly require premium fuel. The others "recommend it" mostly to achieve the advertised horsepower rating though it might make you run .01% smoother in some instances.
