I don't really understand how this works:

Say you've got a weapon that fire multiple barrages, like the Guard Manticore. Would you place each template in the same place, and then scatter individually on each of them, or would you use the rule for multiple barrage weapons? Because, as I see, it is a single weapon that fires multiple times.

The Manticore's weaponry includes "Storm Eagle Rockets". Codex:IG p. 103. This would be the plural form of "Storm Eagle Rocket". Use of the plural form suggests that there is more than one of them, so I would not interpret this as a "single weapon" as you suggest. I'd interpret it as multiple weapons, fired together one or multiple times using the same profile, and therefore I'd use the Multiple Barrages rule if multiple shots result from the D3 roll.

If it has a single weapon profile with D3 as the number of shots then resolve as multiple barrage.

Yes, you resolve it as a Multiple Barrage, whose rules are detailed in the rulebook (surprisingly).
