If InDesign displays a warning message about an OTF missing font, either get this font (easy if it is a Google font), or replace it with the TTF version you have, but in this case, text may reflow.

When I am getting the option to replace that missing font, and I find the font in the available fonts list, I don't know if that font is a TTF or OTF, and where is the font coming from, from my Document Fonts folder? From my system? From Adobe Cloud?

What I want is to use the fonts only from my Document Fonts folder from my package.

Text menu > Find font, and click on the font name. In the Informations panel, at the bottom, you'll get the info.

My document is already packaged, and uses fonts from the Document Fonts folder.

I use my document from the cloud, and it's packaged in the cloud.

Obviously not. So, why do you get the warning message? InDesign should recognize the content of the Document fonts folder and should use it in your file. Or it means that you have renamed this folder or moved it outside the packaged folder.
