There is something I need to pay special attention to changing systems ? As mentioned before Antirollback?
Whyred = Redmi Note 5 Pro India / Redmi Note 5 Pro AI China / Global
Vince = Redmi 5 Plus China / Redmi Note 5 India / Global

Do not update your miui 9 after 9.5.17 if you wish to be on the safer side.
As long as you stay below miui 9 9.5.17 (& 8.7.5 in case of miui 10) you're safe and can change roms without any problem.

So my device will be Vince?
And what will happen if I'll install Whyred Rom on Vince?

No.
Whyred = Redmi Note 5 Pro for India / Redmi Note 5 everywhere else
Vince = Redmi Note 5 for India / Redmi 5 Plus everywhere else.

No, your device is whyred. You have a Snapdragon 636; Vince has Snapdragon 625. You have dual cameras, Vince is single camera.
If you install a ROM meant for a different device, you will have a nice new brick. Please, use only whyred ROMs on your device.

Redmi note 5 and Redmi note 5 Pro

Good evening,
before starting with modding, I would like to understand if at least I'm in the right section, this is the redmi notes 5 Pro section, (Indian version, if I have not misunderstood). I own a Redmi note 5 (global version, model name M1803E7SG). Can i use the guides of this section to proceed with the unlocking of the bootloader and to get the permissions of root??
Thank you!
Yes, you own a Redmi Note 5, also knows as whyred.
This tactic from Xiaomi confused alot of people.
Vince is the one with a single rear camera, while whyred is the one with the dual camera setup.
In India:
Redmi Note 5 is VINCE.
Redmi Note 5 Pro is WHYRED.
In Europe:
Redmi 5 Plus is VINCE.
Redmi Note 5 is WHYRED.
Also, AFAIK, unlocking the bootloader is the same deal with any Xiaomi phone. Using the unlock tool and the waiting time, etc, no matter the device you have.
