I am new to macOS. My goal is to automatically open any application in full screen mode achieve the same result as by ctrl + cmd + f combination. I hope it is possible to set that in system preferences.
Thanks in advice.

If you close a window with the red dot, then the app will forget its last status. If you always remember that Cmd/Q is to quit an app, then windows will be remembered next launch, assuming you have the pref set that ljk mentions in his answer. [This also applies if you reboot the machine - apps & windows will be correctly restored if you didn't actually close them first]

Seems like you can uncheck the "Close windows when quitting an application" option" under System Preference.
Starting Terminal as full screen by default

when I close app via cmd + Q it works but not for every application. For Chrome it does not work. Do you know why?

Chrome pretty much ignores the standard Mac toolbox in all respects - I guess that one is just another example of "we do it our way & !%^!* you."

Have you considered using something like BetterTouchTool? You can drag your windows to various corners and edges of the screen to make them full screen, half screen, quarter screen, etc. I personally use it because it's very customizable and it's easy to map shortcuts to common functions like full screen, left-half and right-halfscreen. Fwiw, it also offers the ability to customize the behavior your touchpad and mouse.
