From what I heard ,there were big dif.between the 109 and the 199.

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Avia%20S-199 for example states that the airframe of the Avia S-199 was identical to that of the Me 109G and that only the engine and the propeller were different.

That's not entirely correct. The engine cowling was also different, to accomodate the new Jumo 211F engine.
A visible difference was the air intake scope, moved from the port to the starboard side.

More details?!

The main difference consisted of the weaker and heavier Jumo 211F engine, as well as the paddle-blade VS-11 propeller, both obviously negatively influencing the 'Mezek' (Mule)'s handling characteristics.

Also the Avia made some version of the 262!!!???

Yes, the Czechs built post-war 17 Avia S-99 and 2 CS-92 Turbína's from existing and newly manufactured Me 262 components.

What about the IAR-80 replica \"No. 1\" from the Aviation Museum? It was claimed to be the only true replica of the Romanian plane, built at Brasov with as many of the original details as possible, including the only surviving, original K14-1000a engine obtained from a technical school or museum?

Just by looking at the silhouette of the enclosed photo, one can see the (slight) differences, namely the cockpit canopy's shape, the main undercarriage cover, not to mention the inaccurate terra cotta camouflage colour. Despite these issues, the replica is not bad at all. It's nice to see a full-scale '80 under the blue sky...

For how long did the Bf 109G production take place at IAR after WWII? How many planes were produced? What happened to them? Were they only for internal use? Were any of them exported?

Production lasted until 1947. As I've mentioned earlier, a total of 75 Bf 109Ga's were (partly) manufactured at I.A.R. Brasov.
They were used only in ARR and FA-RPR, until 1954. The surviving airplanes were scrapped in 1955.

I didn't see your previous post(s), but thanks for this answer.
