So do I understand correctly that for a Veeam v12 copy job to rotated USB drives I should still set retention policy to 2 days (not 2 points) in order to always keep at least 3 restore points, no matter how old they are?

Yes, this should work as described in the link above.

Great, and I also see that "Process the most recent restore point instead of waiting" advanced option. This will probably finish the job earlier instead of hanging around and waiting for new backups that will never arrive if some computers do not run and backup regularly. Is that correct?

Right, it will use the previous existing restore point instead of waiting for the new one to arrive.
