In GO membrane insertases are positioned as 'transporters'
membrane insertase activity; GOid=GO:0032977

This doesn't really seem like transport, rather just localization?

Any thoughts?

IMHO, membrane insertase activity fits into the def of transporter activity:

"Enables the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells."

directed movement...within a cell
