...if i covert vps on zfs to qcow snapshot is on, but if i try to move to btrfs it give me only raw option without snapshot, it's normal?
..also CT on zfs are with snapshot disabled...why?

could be the additional mount point on the container pointing to other disk folder? no .. i think.. other CT are without mountpoint and..snapshot isn't available.

When working with mount points and not all mount points support snapshotting, then the whole LXC won't allow you to snapshot.

Please show us your actual storage config: cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
Because storing virtual disks as raw-files on a directory storge doesn't support any snapshots, no matter what storage is used below that. If you want raw snapshots you need to use a "ZFSPool" type storage" which will then create zvols or datasets instead of raw files.

Both your "zfs-proxmox-data" and "zfs-sata1-proxmox" are of type "dir" and not "zfspool". So they are both directory storages and directory storages can't make use of features of the underlaying ZFS. So there is no ZFS native snapshot feature and therefore no snapshotting of "raw" format virtual disks.
If you want to use snapshotting with "raw" you need to use a "zfspool" storage.

thank you.

You mean that i need to create dedicated zfs file system ? but will be always a directory for proxmox?
or it need direct formatted zfs hd ?

I mean you need to create a storage of type "zfspool" pointing to a pool or a dataset (I would prefer a dataset).
See PVE webUI: Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS
