In Zero, technique damage is based off MST. Physically whacking an enemy with a Force weapon (Rods, Wands and Slicers) also does damage based on the MST stat, regardless of what class is using the weapon. This includes Photon Art damage, on those weapons.
As you noticed, those weapons also boost MST, meaning yes, they do increased technique damage as well.
Conversely, all other weapons (ie Sabers) do damage based on the ATP stat, regardless of whether a Hunter or a Force is wielding them.
Hopefully that clarifies things a bit.
