Why RAID do not start synchronization ? It is normal ?

Doesn't it ?
Try "cat /proc/mdstat"
Synchronization is a background operation - your array is functional
immediately.
(this behaviour was changed from the really really old RAID code in unpatched
2.2 to standard 2.4)

Really.

No, synchronization not started, /proc/mdstat say that RAID is Ok
([UU]). /proc/mdstat checked immediately after booting.

Neil already has given some explanations...

I was too quick, and as far as I can see, Neil gave the correct explanation.
Hey, maybe I was wrong, but I was *faster* ;)

Yes.
A difference of 1 in the event counters isn't considered enough to
treat on of them as old, and presumably the newest one (sda2) was
marked clean.
This could happen if the array was shut down cleanly, the new super
block (with the dirty bit cleared) was written to sda2, but the new
superblock was NOT written to sdb2 for some reason. In this situation
there is no need to resync the array.
Could this be what happened in your case?

Server is slow die (error in VM, server lost procfs) and rebooted by
'reboot -f'... I don't know what happen with RAID in this case.
