tried to search, but found no good description or examples. am i right to understand this can be put in code of some production building to increase it's "multiple instances faster produce"-effect?

in documentation it's only said to be corresponding to [General]?MultipleFactory but that's global for all - does BuildTime.MultipleFactory work similar but "locally"?

The settings are for the type being built, not for the factory producing it. Units aren't built by a particular factory, so the latter doesn't make sense in this engine.

That is, you can make some unit types not to be built faster, or increase the effect for some types. For example, a low-tech jeep might build just as fast if the player has no power, while some high-tech vehicle might suffer badly.

then what's the difference vs BuildTimeMultiplier ? i checked couple mods, units have this command to obviously manipulate build time just like you described, so i thought BuildTime.MultipleFactory serves some other purpose(especially as [General]MultipleFactory makes production faster for factories).

BuildTimeMultiplier is the factor that always applies. It is used to determine the build time, also using the cost.

BuildTime.MultipleFactory= is the same as [General]MultipleFactory=, but customizable per type. Both serve the same purpose: they apply if there are multiple factories only, as an additional multiplier for each additional factory. Generally, all tags that default to some global value usually serve the same purpose and can be used to override the globals for this very type only.

my guess was right, it's possible to create "production speeder" facility, thank you for answers.
