I'm located in the US/MA. Finishing off a basement room and adding a
couple of circuits. I will have overhead recessed lighting wired to a
switch on the wall at the door entrance. Do I still need to have a
wall receptical wired to the switch, or does the fact that the
overheads are switched cover this?

What makes you ask a question like this? Unless there is something you are
not telling us, there is certainly no requirement to have outlets on
lighting circuits.
What makes you spell receptacle that ?

And finally, you are aware the outlets have to be GFCI aren't you?

Not in a finished basement, they don't. Probably prudent anyway, but not a
Code requirement.
