Often times my boss or sometimes my coworker would email me just to let me know something. Or they would assign me a task through email.
Do most people reply to these emails with a "got it, will do" or something like that, or is it generally implied that you have read it and there's no need to reply back to acknowledge that you received it unless you have a question about it?

Likely a lot comes down to personal preference of your boss.
When I delegate, I like to get acknowledgment that the person knows it has to be done.
If your boss hasn't given you timing, check verbally or by e-mail when he/she needs it by eg "Will do. I can get it to you by Time. Let me know if you need it earlier."
If it's a task that requires some work, try something like "Will do. I should be able to get it done by Friday. I'll check in with you Wednesday afternoon to give you a quick status update."
This tells your boss that you have got the task on your list and also establishes a deadline he/she can expect it by. It also gives your boss guidance on your timing so that he/she can tell you sooner/later. That helps you avoid situations of different timing expectations.
Unless someone asks for confirmation generally no.
