The transaction matching tokens are kept in "slots" records belonging to the account into which you were importing the transactions. This is part of the book (i.e. .gnucash) file so you need only copy or share it between machines. Saved report and CSV configurations are kept in the DOT-GNUCASH folder, which on macOS is ~/Library/Application Support/gnucash. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Backup for more about where GnuCash keeps data and how to make thorough backups or share books between machines.
