You do not need to go to 8.3 first. Go to 8.4 then to 8.4(6) and then to 9.2. Be mindful of the memory requirements when upgrading to post 8.3 ASA versions. this needs to be in place before you can upgrade. refer to the following link for memory requirement:

Also, note that the upgrade path is in place so that your existing configuration will be converted to the new format, but this also means that the ASA will add a lot of un-needed configuration and might not remove some of the old configurations leaving a very messy configuration which...if you want to...will mean you have to manually clean it up.
If your configuration is not very long and complex i suggest manually updating the configuration before the upgrade, then upgrade directly to 9.2 and then copy the configuration in 10 lines at a time. This will also give you a chance to become familiar with the new way of doing NAT and ACLs.
