Commissioning on python-matter-server with code_commission command works but it uses bluetooth of the device where python-matter-server is installed.
If my server is away of my devices BLE range I would want to use BLE from my phone, how could I possibly do this? Would my phone have to be a Matter controller to do that?

yes, the phone has to be a matter controller to do this. When you commission Matter devices using the HA app on a phone (with Android, Google Play services are required), the HA app will ask the phone to provision the Matter device, and the phone will do that using the Matter stack shipped with the OS. Afterwards, the phone will "share" the device with HA.
(in other words, this is how provisioning already works using the Home Assistant app - is there some reason you're not using it?)

Thank you for answering, I appreciate it greatly. I'm trying to understand more about Matter and build some small parts myself. When you say "share" the device with HA, what does that actually mean? Does that mean it opens commissioning window for this device, provide new QR code to HA and commission it using commission_on_network command?
