How it works when we want to travel with a train that booking is not necessary? How we get those tickets, or we just have to show our interail pass to the train controller?
Because I was checking that there are some that tell you a message such as:
This is a popular train. Seat reservations are recommended, but not required.
So, I was wondering how it works because we are travelling in four from Vien to Frankfurt.
Thanks in advance.

The pass is your ticket. If you have a mobile pass, then the QR code in the Rail Planner app is the ticket. The daily QR code for will be available after adding a train to your pass for that day. See the explanations here:
Reservations for Vienna to Frankfurt are indeed recommended because those trains are often very busy. You can make them on tickets.oebb.at for €3 per person.
For reservations on other trains, see this overview:

at what if I already booked some traing but I didn’t activate my pass. I all right? When is appropiate to active my pass if I’m travelling the 6th august? I’m not sure what it means to activate my pass and having not activated yet…
The only requirement is that you activate your pass and add your train to your pass before you board the train. There's no need to activate your pass or a travel day in advance.
Reservations are separate from the pass and you can buy them without activating your pass.
And when I am booking thorough. OBB website w which is the difference between 2nd class or seat reservation only. As this train is included in the interrail ticket I guess I only need to pick the train reservation ticket. Isn’t it?
