ive started the book "not for happiness" by dzongsar khyentse which basically says: well if u dont believe in it, forget that meditation business. especially vajrayana. that got me somehow questioning.

Yes, different teachers have different opinions about this. It’s “controversial.” So is everything in Buddhism… which is confusing at first. My opinion (which many Buddhists would reject) is that beliefs are irrelevant and can be ignored.
