I ask because someone someone said that they use cbs bats to support all their 4" boxes above hung ceiling. I thought there were supports that could attach to the pencil rod for the 4" boxes .

We prefer a CBS bar. MFC's never seem to end up where you need the box.

Sorry I know Im killing you. So if you have hung(acoustical) ceiling and you have devices(clg. sensors, etc.) that are right on the middle of a ceiling tile is the only way to support the box with one of these

That's not a box support. This is one from Caddy:
