For anyone that might be interested by a plugin that is close (but doesn't use Rembg & only works on Linux for now), I found this plugin :
Gimp Background Remover
The installation is quite simple (but don't forget to change the name of the folder to have it corresponding to the py file's one as usual !), and you really need to follow their readme, but it does work quite well, I especially like that the plugin create a layer mask for the background removing.
It's not as good as any remove.bg plugin for example, but the fact that it works on the computer directly without needing any network / API key / subscription, and it works even on a Adler Intel N100 proc... Yeah, that could be an interesting option ?
I know that I'll keep it for that kind of work if I need it for now.
(I'm proposing this plugin I found because I got the same problems with almost all of the other removing background plugins I found :
Look like there is not much possibility to make it work directly with a rembg installed into a personal python ENV or even one installed globally for now)

- they either work in a way I don't want them to (https://github.com/ismdevteam/gimp3-rembg-plugin for example, it creates a copy of the image without the background & no option to have it as a mask directly on the original image for corrections.
- they are just not working on Gimp 3 for now, like the rembg plugin from http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21412&start=0 indeed...
