If that's a fully warmed up idle, that is stellar. The metric readings confused me for a bit though.

General rule of thumb is, 10PSI minimum at idle, when fully warmed up, then about 10 PSI per 1000 RPM. Yours looks to be around 30-40 PSI at idle, so, you are most certainly good to go.

When I take this picture at idle was 400/450RPM.
Thank u. you calmed me down, I thought it must be vertical all the time and something is wrong. Of course as soon as I press the gas and start driving it immediately increases to the upper scale.

And that is exactly what it should do. Essentially, so long as the needle ISN'T sitting at the bottom of the scale, you are OK.
