I haven't heard that it has to be replaced each time it's reset. I do know that if you reset it, loosen it all the way before trying to retighten it. I could see it getting a little corrosion that might cause the arrow being off but I don't see the harm in reusing one with only 15k on it. The manual doesn't say it either.
There's a writeup for replacing the camshaft in the FAQ. I wouldn't replace the timing belt either and you don't have to remove it. If it does come off, make sure it stays in the same rotation direction.
Yeah, it's not so cheap so it's up to you. Here are some sources:
