I have Holden Astra 2008 wagon. Engine z18-xer (1.8 litres) with 4 steps automatical transmission (AF17). I need to replace transmission fluid. Please help me find an overflow plug, (it is also called "level plug" or "level check hole" or "fluid checking bolt").

The same Astra model was made under the Brand Opel and Vauxhall.

You are asking about a “level plug”, but the transmission looks to me like it has a dip stick for checking the fluid level (The pipe with the paper label attached to it).

From my experience, auto transmissions that have a dip stick installed have been designed for fluid to be added down the dip stick tube and the level then checked with the dip stick.

Also from my experience, auto transmissions that don’t have a dip stick there has been a filler/level plug on the side of the transmission sump.

The photo you have added looks like there is a drain plug on the bottom. If not, the old fluid could be ‘vacuumed’ out from the dipstick tube.
