Are these “Tab” attributes observable in back office or they are just for organization in code scope? because i checked modules page but i didnt see list of available “Tab” attributes available in https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/creation/

Yes they are visible in back office module list to the left in Prestashop 1.6. Prestashop 1.7 has a different organization.

Prestashop 1.6 used to have list to the left side in module tab in backoffice but 1.7 does not have it. Tab attribute is only used for module categorization it does not affect your module functionality it will work fine without it. You can find many categories for module in prestashop Addon site like Promotions & Marketing, Traffic & Marketplaces, Payment, Shipping & Logistics. Tab attribute tells that in which category your module will lie. If you are thinking of selling your module it is good to have it.
