Tesselation (or tiling) generally implies translational symmetry, because you can generally move one part of a tiling over another a specific distance away and get an exact match (ie the tesselation is periodic). A counterexample (possibly the only one) is Penrose tiling, which is non-periodic. There is certainly no need for a tesselating shape to have either bilateral or rotational symmetry: all triangles and all parallelograms (including squares and rectangles) will tessellate.
I'm afraid this is a rather superficial answer to this very interesting question; a deeper one will have to come from someone with a knowledge of group theory.

Is this pattern a tessellation of symmetry?
No. Non-existent patterns do not qualify as tessellations.
Is a triangle a tessellation?

What is used in the art of tessellation?
Tessellation is a art of mathematics that has to do with a cube that has 4 sides. Tessellation is practice of finding out all the mathematical properties of a cube.
