I'm using xfs filesystem, speaking about inodes topic have a question: does RO bind mount points consumes inodes?

The information is the same, strictly speaking; because the binds mounts point to a directory in the same filesystem.

With df -i is possible to see tha inodes consumption, well.

Files in the bound directory have exactly the same inode as the original. So no, it doesn't consume anything.

But you could have made the test yourself :

root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid# df -i .
Sys. de fichiers         In?uds IUtil.     ILibre IUti% Monté sur
/dev/mapper/vg0-raid 7497565248    107 7497565141    1% /mnt/raid
root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid# mount -B test/ bind/
root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid# df -i .
Sys. de fichiers         In?uds IUtil.     ILibre IUti% Monté sur
/dev/mapper/vg0-raid 7497565248    107 7497565141    1% /mnt/raid
root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid# cd bind/dir/hello/
root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid/bind/dir/hello# ls -i 34.txt 
4294967458 34.txt
root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid/bind/dir/hello# cd /mnt/raid/test/dir/hello/
root@storiq-nas10:/mnt/raid/test/dir/hello# ls -i 34.txt
