I think i have a stupid question but i couldn’t find answer to it so far :( When i want to reach a service that i host on my own server at home from the local network at home, is using a public domain effective way to do it or should i always use server’s IP when configuring something inside LAN? Is my traffic routed through the internet somehow when using domain even in LAN or does my router know to not do this?

      If by “router” you mean the all-in-one box, yes. But even if you don’t fully control the device, you can usually change DHCP DNS so that LAN clients will use your local DNS servers.
