Is scrypt even implemented without a salt? If not, then it doesn't matter. And if so, why?


Good point - it is implemented with a salt! However, the way that's done depends on the implemetation. The underlying KDF doesn't require nor generate a salt, so if you're implementing it client side, you'd need to ensure salting works.
