Ties usually occur when a late-season game is rained out past the 5th inning, while the teams are (obviously) tied. If the game does not affect whether any team involved makes the playoffs and the two teams will not meet again that season, then they will not bother to make the game up, and it will stand as a tie, with all statistics counting.
In Japan, however, games that are still tied past the 15th inning stand as a tie.

Not really. If there is a tie and it rains depending on the inning, it is played at a later date.
