In the japanese squad was the MG like the most important thing in there squad? Like in the German gruppe?

no not really, the Japanese firmly based there tactics around the riflemen, due to the lack of a really effective machine gun and the fact there was never really enough to go round

I also suppose that had something to do with the fact a type 92 looks alot heavier to carry about than an MG34 or 42?no not really, the Japanese firmly based there tactics around the riflemen, due to the lack of a really effective machine gun and the fact there was never really enough to go round
Would a type 92 & tripod weigh more than a MG42 on a sustained fire mount?

yeah it does, its a 4 man operation to carry the type 92 and tripod

Yikes 
I suppose a type 99 would be a better comparison to the MG34.
Would it be fair to say that the type 92 would be mainly used in emplaced positions then?

later on in the war yes, they would have been used in strong defensive points but during the early war such as the push through Burma and malaya or in China they were very much a mobile weapon.
