The shift parameters are alway needed to obtain higher precision for CRS
trasformations where the datums are different. When a transform from datum
A to datum B is required, Proj4 (the engine underlying SRS and projections)
does  datum A -> WGS84 -> datum B. The shift parameters (+towgs84) are used
my Proj4 to manage the intermediated transformations to (and from) WGS84,
which is kind of a "pivot CRS".
So, they're should be always employed. 102092 does not define them, that's
why you get worst results.
