Is policy rules works always for prioritization traffic or only when shaping occurs?
It depends on the policy.
In general, prioritization only "triggers" when there's congestion. Shaping shapes (i.e. queues excess) when traffic goes out-of-bounds relative to the shaper's parameters. If there are shaped queues, with traffic, prioritization can happen with them (such as would be the case with the policies you posted in your subsequent post).
