Explain: We know that HDSE is not present, therefore the CondRefOf (that I removed) and the related code will never execute, so we simply remove it.

Yup, Gotcha!
But the warnings still remain. ~194 of them.
Do i ignore them or should i be sitting and solving them?

As per guide, warnings don't matter:

Okay, yes. But i just asked because my problem seems a bit unique, so i dont want to leave anything for doubt.
So im asking you at every step.
Btw, My touchscreen is working. But currently it doesnt recognize any gestures, or im not able to put it to real use, except for xcode and android studio simulators.
Is there a way to optimize this touchscreen?
Are there any drivers for it?

USB touchscreens usually work for single touch only OOB.
But it is relatively useless (not multitouch).
There are drivers you can buy from touchbase that might support your device if you really want it that bad.

Okay, Understood.
There is another thing that i noticed with High Sierra.
When i change the SMBIOS to 13,3.
the laptop doesnt start at all.
It comes to the apple logo and then restarts, sometimes restarts after showing error screen.
I have to use 11,1 in order to use hackintosh. This didnt happen with sierra. Why must this be happening?

MacBookPro13,3 is a poor choice.

I have a skylake speedstep hwm supported laptop.
So 13,3 would support speedstep.
It wouldnt work with 11,1 right?

I think you mean HWP (aka. SpeedShift), not 'hwm'.

MacBookPro13,1 would be ok. MacBookPro13,3 is dual GPU with Apple proprietary GMUX.
MacBookPro11,1 will work just fine, just not HWP.

I see okay, Thanks.

Read the battery guide regarding multibyte EC registers:

As for this, I tried it. Here is where i have stopped.
So after searching for embeddedcontrol i get two searches, amongst which only one is relavant, the other is a blank function.
Now in the relavant one i get.

Code: 
OperationRegion (ECRM, EmbeddedControl, Zero, 0xFF)
            Field (ECRM, ByteAcc, Lock, Preserve)
            {
                Offset (0x5D),
                ERIB,   16,
                ERBD,   8,
                Offset (0xAA),
                Offset (0xAB),
                Offset (0xAD),
                    ,   4,
                Offset (0xAE),
                PTVL,   4,
                Offset (0xB0),
                Offset (0xB1),
                Offset (0xB2),
                Offset (0xB3),
                Offset (0xB4),
                Offset (0xB5),
                Offset (0xBC),
                Offset (0xBD)
            }

And so for ERIB there is just one result which is this:
So im trying to patch it with this:
Code: 
into device label H_EC code_regex ERIB,\s+16, replace_matched begin DC00,8,DC01,8, end;
but it doesnt work.
1 patch,0changes,0rejects.
What am i doing wrong?

Your patch has no effect because ERIB is in EC0, not H_EC.
Don't forget about ENIB and SMD0.
(and note that there are two different SMD0 identifiers... patch carefully [one needs patching, the other does not])
