Does disarm work like trip then?

Do you have to have a weapon with disarm to use a weapon to disarm someone like trip is?

No. You can disarm with any weapon (or none at all). "Disarm" weapons grant a bonus to the disarm attempt.

Attempting to disarm while "unarmed" though will give you a -4 bonus to your CMB. So it's better to have a weapon, it's even better to have a weapon that has the disarm quality, or be a monk and attempt it unarmed.

That's true. But disarming "unarmed" let's you take the weapon away from your opponent, instead of just having it fall to the ground.

One of my favorite characters used Unarmed disarm in conjunction with Improved Disarm and True Strike to take away a BBEG's uber weapon and beat him to death with it. Good Times.
