Ouch! Is that why Michael didn't even bat an eyelid when Tom told Michael at the Desert Inn “Your bodyguard is dead”

Exactly. Bussetta was a hired gun, probably taken on by Michael because he couldn't be sure at that time that Rocco and/or Neri weren't involved in the Tahoe shooting--as he told Tom before leaving, "Our people are businessmen, their loyalty is based on that." Coincidentally, he wanted Roth to think that, by not bringing Rocco and/or Neri to Havana, he was still in the dark about who ordered the shooting.

Probably true. However, if that was the reason, he recruited B pretty quickly since the attempted murder took place late and he was leaving in the morning.
