The foam pad surrounds the whole so once tightened down, the pad squeezes and spreads out. I did a pretty thorough inspection and could not find any where that water could enter. But it may be wise to add something extra just to be safe!
Your parts department should have something called "dum dum", which is a licorice rope-like substance, that gets packed around those white tubes. The TE roof rails have it already, as do the 4Runners that came with no rails installed.
