Short question: Today I tried ACRO MODE the firt time.
Is it normal, that within Goggles is shown "AIR mode" ?
I have not activated any additional mode within BetaFlight, but its shown AIR within Goggles?
Is this correct? Or what do I have to do that ACRO Mode is activated and shown within Goggles?

Yes, very normal

AIR = ACRO

If airmode is enabled then 'Air' text on osd, else - 'Acro'

Suddenly, this video has the correct explanation. the harder part is to understand why there is so much incorrect information around airmode on the net

I think the most confusing part is the relationship between what is described in the video as airmode (and what is also known as airmode in other multirotor firmwares e.g. https://docs.px4.io/main/en/config_mc/pid_tuning_guide_multicopter.html#airmode-mixer-saturation) and what actually happens when you set Permanently enable airmode in the betaflight configurator.
The mixer behavior changes (pretty much) as described in the video but there is also a bunch of other things that behaves differently with airmode off.
When I dug through the git history I also found a point where the mixer behavior was not affected (that part of airmode was effectively always on) by turning airmode on or off in the configurator.
