As far as I know, there are various ways to use Gimp in a Chromebook
There is an old apk installer that uses a limited version of Gimp in a 'virtual machine' type wrapper. I do not suppose anyone uses that these days..but you never know.
The newer Chromebooks run a version of linux as a sub-system and the Chromebook user can install Gimp from a linux repository. You can find the Gimp version using the Gimp menu Help -> About.
There is an on-line version of Gimp. I think called XGimp This has no official connection with Gimp. No guarantee that it is a full implementation of Gimp.
Which one are you using? or is it something else.
Paste into other images ? Other images open in Gimp or other images open in some other application. Different applications display "transparency" in different ways. Not always as a checker pattern, some might use white, some might use black.
Then there is image format. What are you using? png supports transparency but jpeg does not. Transparency gets replaced by a solid colour usually white but not always. Then gif format, can use transparency but it is limited to a color-map. Add a gif to another gif image can result in changes.
Give a bit more information, I know it is difficult using chromeos but try.
