Is the game in 2-player played on the Matrix server ?

No multiplayer support, only hot seat or against AI

Are there any plans for Multiplayer (Net/PBM) in the future, anyway to use this with Vassal?

I realize the system is challenging to do PBEM-wise but ASL poses the same challenges and people play it with VASL. To do something similar in Tigers you would have to exchange a lot of files and agree on some rules with your opponent. Most problems would occur with the movement segment. In VASL my opponents and I would have rules like stop and send the file back if my moving unit breaks or stop if a new unit is revealed.

Some people have written an interface for some games that makes the swapping of files easier, as in putting the received file into the right folder so the game can find it.

How does the hotseat work? Do I need to save game and quit the game and load it again as other side? Or just 1 click on a button I can shift side right away?

One click and you can shift straight away

Switching back and forth every movement hex entered[X(]

Best have two chairs and two monitors when Hot seat (Multiplayer) is involved!

I hope networking will be available in the near future.
