Is that par for the course on an '02 205,000km car? Can it be cleaned, it's seems the build-up goes all the way into the intake past the TB. Also, shinning an flash lite down the TB, I noticed it was 'wet', could be oil, i'm not sure. Is that normal though at the bottom of the intake to look like that?

It should be clean and dry ... easy enough to clean it though and you should probably be thinking in terms of cleaning the MAF too ... whatever has dirtied up the TB has probably made it dirty too.
