I think I have seen an option only available if Database exist but I can't remenber where ?

The only difference is basically DB-version is multi-user, and allows user management and user-restrictions (folders).

If you go to settings -> panel -> Login Type: Use Database, you will see a link that you can click for more information. Here is the info:

Panel Database Version
The panel database version offers a few advantages: Create- users, manage users, and edit user profiles directly from the control panel.
* The panel database version does not have anything to do with the X3 frontend.
How to setup panel database version

1. Create New Database
   Create a new database, typically from your server control panel, or from phpMyAdmin. You can use any database name, for example "x3_panel".
2. Test Connection
   Before saving database settings in the panel, you should verify your database connection with the X3 /panel/db_check.php.
3. Add Database Details
   Add database connection details to panel settings (this page). You will automatically be logged out from the panel after clicking save.
4. Install Panel DB
   Proceed to the X3 /panel/install/ page, and install the X3 panel database.
5. Login
   Login to the panel with your new admin credentials set from the install process.
6. Delete install folder
   If everything works, log in by FTP, and delete the "panel/install" folder.

MySQL

Basically yes. The X3 panel USER system allows multiple admin users to create pages/galleries, optionally restricted to subfolders. Panel users has no relation to the X3 website itself.

Sorry, no. Panel users are only for panel access, and have no effect on the X3 website. You can create password-logins for X3 pages, but that is not related to panel-users.
