No, you're correct about weebs being obsessed with Japanese culture in general. Weebs do tend to be obsessed with Japanese culture, however it's like the difference between someone who has a degree in film history and a cinemaphile. Or a geek and someone who enjoys super hero movies.
Edit: or a tankie vs a communist or socialist
Are weebs even obsessed with Japanese culture, or just the children's entertainment and snack foods aspect of it?
Forgive my bluntness, but I've never had a weeb give me their thoughts on Murakami's latest novel.
Eh, I think it depends on the weeb. I'd say that most are obsessed with Japanese pop culture, however it also depends on the individual. I've known weebs who were basically just into the anime/manga depiction of Japan, while others had a deeper but equally romanticized understanding of Japanese culture.
