You got that wrong.

What exactly does "is represented by" mean here? Are the actual
numbers, 50 and 30, present in the data visible by gnuplot, or not?

Which is *exactly* what the z_error column would do for you, if only you
let it.

You misunderstand the documentation, leading to incorrect conclusions.
No, the weight doesn't just modify the y axis values.
What you need to do is crack open your statistics textbook and learn
about counting statistics and their intrinsic error, so you can
understand why the solution to your problem is something like
fit f(x) 'data.data' using 1:2:(sqrt($2)) via ...
