Does the vajra that is hold by popular Buddha figures, and statues of Buddha represents the sunyata or emptiness?

Yes, but it goes deeper than that, with sunyatha represented as a central component of skillful means, etc.
The Wikipedia entry that Norm offers is a good explanation of the Buddhist/Tantric use and meaning of the dervice.
