Yes, houseplants give off carbon dioxide during darkness and when dormant.
Houseplants, and any green plant, absorb carbon di-oxide (Co2) and produce oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
During the day they absorb more then they produce and produce oxygen but during the night they give off carbon dioxide.
Some people believe this is why all flowers are removed from bed sides in hospitals during the night.
This is of course ridiculous. People in the hospital produce more CO2 than plants could possible produce. Also if this were true we would have to wear oxygen masks at night since no photosynthesis happens after dark.

Why is it important that plants give off carbon dioxide?
I think you have it backwards. Plants actually absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. It's obvious why it's important they give off oxygen.
