I actually went through Dubai Immigration a year ago. I didn't need a visa, but they put a entry stamp in my passport. Therefore the smart gates will not even put a stamp on the passport?
I think these are the countries, could not find specific information if all no visa countries qualify:
The first time through takes a bit longer as you will not be registered and they need to scan your retina. After the first visit you don't need to talk with anyone or get a stamp. There are special lines for non-register and it moves pretty quick.
