Is this for Nextcloud 12 snap?

config.php at /snap/nextcloud/current/htdocs/config/config.php does look to be the wrong one ?

The file is at the read only section of the nextcloud snap and can not be restored.

Eventually config.php at /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/ is the correct one ?

also it have to parse config.php for 'datadirectory' =>
for me - there is mounted resource from external (for snap) directory

config.php at /snap/nextcloud/current/htdocs/config/config.php does look to be the wrong one ?

The file is at the read only section of the nextcloud snap and can not be restored.

Eventually config.php at /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/ is the correct one ?

I concur.
