The two sentences are fine. The contractions by their nature do not distinguish the precise reduction; they just indicate the speech pattern. Use the two sentences in the same way that you use present + adjective ( He is gone/prepared/finished ) and the present perfect ( He has gone/prepared/finished ).

For most purposes you'll need "is gone" for an object, but you can also use it for a person. "has gone" would normally be used only for a person because an object can't go away.

"is gone" ~ "is not here"

"has gone" ~ "went away"
