I wonder if I have to run it manually for tor relaying each time (or set
autostart somehow, I'm newbie with linux), or that configuration I did
before via onion is enough.

If it is a server withouth X I would simply install tor and make sure it gets started at boot time. via /etc/rcX.d/

But I suppose you are speaking of a single user desktop environment using Tor+Polipo+Vidalia (systray icon you mentioned).
In this case you might start vidalia automatically after you login.

You can tell Vidalia to start tor and polipo.
