difference between that image and official one from

Following the instrucions here:

http://plan9.escet.urjc.es/9faq.html

I downloaded plan9 image on my GNU/Linux machine.
http://plan9.escet.urjc.es/export/vmplan9.tbz

$ tar xvfj vmplan9.tbz
$ qemu -full-screen -net nic -net user p9disk-flat.vmdk

After that, the emulated plan9 worked smoothly and I didnt have to configure
nothing to update plan9 with

That image file with the vmdk extension (.vmdk, that is) is actually a VMWare virtual disk which is, out of sheer luck, on QEMU's list of supported virtual hard disk formats. The ISO image is the semi-official snapshot of the latest (or close to latest, depending on where you download the image from) Plan 9 4th Edition, which is not much of a "release." With the vmdk file you get a pre-installed, probably tailored, Plan 9 system, while with the ISO you get it "raw." You can install from the ISO or run it live (as with live Linux distros, such as Knoppix).
