Does KODI on NVIDIA shiled decodes 4K HDR or will be ?
If I play:
Mad Max Fury Road (2015) 2160p UltraHD BluRay HEVC x265 (30mbps Bitrate) 2CH AAC
Will it be decoded as 4K / HDR content ?

No, as that video file isn't HDR. Some HDR BT2020 caps are surfacing now, but I hear they're dark (crushed blacks) and exhibit some dithering/banding.

The one advantage to UltraHD streaming is HEVC encoding and smaller file sizes and less bandwidth required.
You can sign up to a Netflix UltraHD plan and if you have to correct equiptment, even UltraHD-4K Netflix is possible on a relatively slower internet connection.
I'm even seeing superior quality 1080p streaming with some titles on Netflix due to the higher compression HEVC encoding.
Looks like the Netflix engineers have done their HEVC encoding homework.

So If i want to watch movies in HDR right now it will be inly possible with UHD BD and play it on XBOX ONE S?
Are there any riped UHD movies i could test on my UHD TV what player would be able to play it on Nvidia Shield Android TV?
PS. I have KS8000 which has HDR and display covering it's gammit , so i think i should be fine.
