What's the difference between the IP20 and IP44? I suppose it is ingress protection: https://www.into-led.com/en/blogs/led-blog/ip-rating/ Meaning 44 is moisture proof(for bathroom for example?)

The first digit in the IP classification stands for protection against the ingress of solids. The second digit for resistance to moisture / water. IP44 is suitable for the bathroom because the 4 at the end means "protection against splashing water". Even safer would be an adapter with a 5 or a 7 at the end.

IP20: Dust-tight. IP21: Drip-proof. IP23: Rainproof. IP44: Splash-proof (suitable for bathroom and certain shower areas).

The difference with the fixed adapter is actually only the foam rubber seal! If this is mounted between the Schuko and the fix adapter, the plug is IP44 certified. Without this seal, you have no protection against moisture.
A normal moulded Swiss plug normally automatically has IP44 certification. However, since a fixed adapter is plugged into a Schuko plug, you can only achieve IP44 with the foam rubber. In all indoor rooms, however, an IP20 is sufficient, unless you have the socket right next to the bathtub, shower or washbasin.
