So lock or unlocked bootloader doesn't matter?

Locked or unlocked, doesn't matter.

And one more question ?
is stock recovery and stock firmware same or different?

They're different, stock recovery comes with the stock firmware package

You can flash the recovery alone. You'll be able to get ota update, this is assuming you're unrooted and system is not altered in anyway.
You don't have to relock your bootloader either.

You'll have to find the stock recovery image and flash it. It'll be inside the stock package here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/firmware-firmware-lollipop-retail-t3017383
Else you'll have to find the image uploaded by someone,I can't upload as I'm on my phone
Then use fastboot to flash it
here's the command
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Can i relook the boot ?

Hi! wanna know if i can relock de boot of my Moto G? is there a way? thanks!
Why would you like to do that??
That will wipe the device and will not get your warranty back..
For answer yes it should be possible to lock the bootloader

Sorry for the noob question but, what are the benefits of updating the bootloader? (besides being able to run the latest CAF Roms)

That's pretty much it. There may be the odd security fix or something here and there but they're not covered by change logs so we'll likely never know

Yes fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
But TWRP can flash recovery.img itself. Switch to IMG instead of ZIP in the Install menu.

What is your bootloader version? It should be HHZ12h if you are running Android 5.1.1. It can create issues if you still have an old one.

Ok lets test your partition
Flash any rom with fastboot again without change twrp
Boot to recovery and select terminal
Type
ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/
And take screenshot all text holding simulate volume- and power button
Post the result
