Can someone confirm when 'preseed/run' is executed?

In other words, what is the best way to download and execute a script at
the end of the install process.

Not exactly answering your question, but the installation-guide
has a chapter about this, see https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs05.html

I guess, "preseed/late_command is what you want...

Actually I was more hoping for an equivalent of 'preseed/run' to the >'preseed/late_command'.
The late_command will not per default download the *.sh file.

The preseed/run part is documented in chapter B.5.3 "Chainloading of preconfiguration files":
https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs05.html

So I guess this not a functionality to be executed at the end of
installation, it only makes sense somewhere at the beginning.

and this is where Ubuntu differs from Debian:

"on a web server. In this example, if the preseed file sets preseed/run
to /scripts/late_command.sh then the file will be fetched from >http://autoserver.example.com/d-i/focal/./scripts/late_command.sh."

I would love to see a rewording of the above text which would clearly
state at what time the command is executed!!! :)

I realy appreciate your help.

The part of the Ubuntu manual you are referring to above is also existing in the Debian one:
https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs02.html#preseed-auto
