I noticed that the GMG's have a small fan blowing in their hopper, to ensure they keep positive airflow in the auger tube, when the blower fan kicks down... Does MAK do this as well? or is it needed?
No, it is not needed in the MAK design. The air intake and exhaust are matched up to not create enough of a positive pressure inside the cooker that could force the exhaust through the auger. The only way you could have a problem is if you never cleaned your fire pot and exhaust vents. I'm not speaking for GMG but I think they did that because their induction fan is directly underneath the fire pot vs. the air blowing down a chamber from the hopper side.
