Therefore, all ISB starbases are cloaked at 20% even if they have no other cloaking... which reduced range of being scanned by 20%.

IIRC, ITs cannot see a cloaked gate at any distance unless they already know the design. The planet could be 50ly away, but you still wouldn't see the starbase. I think this is because the stars client program doesn't know how cloaked the starbase is without knowing the design and, therefore, can't say at what range that design should be visible.
I'm not sure about infinate range scanning though. I would speculate that it allows all gates to be seen, no matter the cloaking.
