thanks for reply.
In "general" sub-tab I see

Template: my_template_name (Clone/Independent)

So I should be ok.

But for example I can have ST1 and ST2, create a template with disk in ST1,
then a VM from this template again in ST1 and in a second time move the
disk of this VM to ST2
In this case what would happen?

Is it in this screen when I create a VM that it is decided if deep copy or
not as you wrote?

What would happen in case I choose "Thin" and not "Clone" in storage
allocation part of resource allocation section in the image?

Also, I noticed that if I create a VM from the blank template the Thin
option is checked and both Thin and Clone are greyed out so I cannot change
it
Instead if I choose my template, the "Clone" option is marked as default,
but I can change to Clone....
