Do I miss something? But as far as I know, Polish uses latin characters (with some special characters as ł, ź) not cyrillic…

"Polish uses latin characters"

Yes, you are correct. However, while "standard" fonts may have some of the Polish glyphs, they don't have them all. Any "Pro" or extended Unicode font usually does:

e.g.

Top paragraph is standard Minion, bottom paragraph is Minion Pro.

Of course, I am aware of this. I just pointed out that Polish DO NOT need any Cyrillic font.

Yes, you need to install a font that supports Cyrillic characters. Many OpenType fonts which are not specifically Cyrillic actually have these glyphs built in already, including the commonly installed Minion Pro, Myriad Pro and Arial.

I believe any Adobe "Pro" font has the extended glyph set, for Cyrillic and most other common alphabets.

ETA: Missed Brad's comment on this. But I believe that's one of the meanings of the "Pro" designation — that it has the basic world glyph set.

Most OpenType Pro fonts have Cyrillic glyphs included.
