The throttle is not physically linked to a throttle body. The throttle is linked to computer sensors, which monitor the throttle positioning and the computer opens the throttle accordingly.
Most of the cars these days have drive-by-wire throttle. Even the 9th generation 1ZZ-FE CE, LE and S Corollas had drive-by-wire from 2005 - 2008. Ofcourse, the new highlight in the 10th generation is the electronic steering, which also has a similar concept linked to the steering wheel.
