No, kudzu vines are not commensal to trees. Commensalism describes an interaction that permits one organism to benefit from another without causing harm. Kudzu (Pueraria spp) injures trees by stealing all air, light and moisture and wrapping to the point of suffocation.
what eats kudzu? Well the platasid eats the kudzu that is its natural habitat but in the U.S. bunnies and cows eat it

Yes, but kudzu its also used for erosion control and medical reasons.

Kudzu has displaced other vegetation and, consequently, other organisms. The hallmark of an invasive weed is aggressive establishment to the detriment of other life in the area. That perfectly describes kudzu. For kudzu establishes itself, and then grows, fast. It covers all vegetation, horizontally, and vertically, in its path. In so doing, it prevents herbaceous and woody plants from having access to light and air. Other vegetation can't carry out essential photosynthesis, from the interaction with the sun's rays. So they can't make or store energy. Neither can they access nutrients and waterin the soil, because shallow-rooted kudzu accesses both first, and doesn't share. Consequently, kudzu covered and surrounded herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees die. Kudzu grows so densely that nothing else grows back to replace what has died. The dense growth of kudzu keeps anything from growing to help hold soil together. For kudzu has a dense growth pattern, from shallow roots. The roots aren't deep or wide enough to discourage soil erosion. Additionally, kudzu thrives in the high nutrient conditions of heavy-handed residential fertilizing. So it isn't stopped by high nutrient runoff, which further encourages erosion. And kudzu keeps other organisms from feeding and nesting on herbaceous and woody plants. For they carpet and shroud the vegetation from easy access and exit. For example, oak trees are the favorite nesting sites of the precious bluebird. Kudzu covers all trees, including oaks, to such an extensive and intensive degree that birds and many insects cannot get through. Kudzu always leaves a dead zone, to wildlife, in its wake.
