What is meant by a gaseous atom in ionization energy?

The ionization energy is the energy required to completely remove a valence electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

What is meant by a gaseous ion?

Ion is gaseous phase, as opposed to hydrated ion in water (or solvated by whatever solvent in other solutions).
