Can Garmin Instinct measure LTHR in a test?

I'm wondering is there a LTHR test like on some forerunner devices?

Also is there a way to set the HR zones depending on LTHR?

No, Instinct does not suppport features like VO₂Max, Training Effect, or Lactate Threshold measuring

Also is there a way to set the HR zones depending on LTHR?

Yes, there is - go to Device Settings » User Settings » Heart Rate Zones in Garmin Connect Web, and select the method Based on Percent of Lactate Threshold Heart Rate. You have to enter your LT manually though.

If I understood you correctly, I can set the LTHR manually in the Connect browser app and set my HR zones there.

I cannot set the same thing in the watch itself (missing the LTHR option) or in the android app.

After I do my running workout where will my "time spent in zones" graph be showed then?

It is all the same account - the watch, the GCM app, and the GCW site - all the same data. And the setting changes done on the web, propagate to the watch and to the app as well, after the next sync.
