yea well im sure i dont really have it all figured out, but easiest refrence is i guess germany after the ww2. they were owned by russia, usa, france and gb. 
occupied, not owned, congo was owned by king leopold II
is there really a difference in that tho? dunno who the congo king was lol. honestly just think countries are stupid. or more so the fact that you can own a patch of grass and dirt with humans living in them and call it whatever you want and make them do whatever you want. also the money thing. a weird world to live in 
If you imagine that you could buy countries, one of the parties would presumably get monetarily compensated for it. An occupation is a forcible overtaking of a country.

And again, the fact that we divide the world into individual pieces that we call countries is all a matter of convention. It hasn't always been like that.

yes there is, occupied entails that it is taken by force, owning is fundamentally more "peaceful" 
so svalbard is owned by norway, while depending on your sources, hong kong is occupied 
okay so occupied is like squatting and owning is just like renting a house? that answers that question lol, makes sense

no, renting a house is like what the US does when they open military bases on foreign soil
