In my experience, some corollas that use a regular key may or may not be equip with an immobilizer, sometimes its just random depending on the trim level. But if you do have a push to start vehicle then you will need a bypass module. One way I check if a car has an immobilizer is with the key. If all of your keys are all metal then they don't qualify, if all of your keys have a plastic coating on the head (usually with a small indentation near the key's spine) then it may still qualify.
You can test out the keys with the plastic coating by wrapping the key's head with 2-3 layers of tinfoil, making sure that the foil covers where the head meets the spine. Then try starting the car with that key, if it doesn't start then there is an immobilizer, if it does start then either you do not have an immobilizer or you didn't wrap the key enough to distort the signal.
If you do have an immobilizer, you would need an immobilizer bypass module. There are typically 3 types of bypass modules. The type where you have to place a key that can start the car within the module which is usually cheaper, the type that you are able to keep all keys for the bypass, and the type that handles the immobilizer bypass and the door locks for qualifying vehicles.
