Yes, displaying in the front is the issue: I can display custom meta values when there's only one variation.

When products have multiple variable attributes the meta display but it is WRONG : it only display the first value found with the selected attribute, not taking into account the full variation.

Any idea ?

That worked for me:
Use the woocommerce_ajax_save_product_variations and change the variable_fields_process function.

//Save variation fields
add_action('woocommerce_ajax_save_product_variations', 'variable_fields_process', 10, 2);

function variable_fields_process($product_id) {
$variable_post_id = $_POST['variable_post_id'];
$variable_custom_field = $_POST['my_custom_field'];

foreach ($variable_post_id as $key => $value) {
    if (isset($_POST['my_custom_field'][$key])) {
        update_post_meta($value, 'my_custom_field', $variable_custom_field[$key]);
    }
}

}
