n (nested mode)
Put mouse cursor inside the source window.
ctrl+a (select all, will trigger warning)
ctrl+c (copy selection)
ctrl+n (new model)
(mouse still inside source window)
ctrl+v
click anywhere near the top of the source window.
Only downside (arguable a bug) it will also copy the multiple author lines from all the submodels.
ps: You'll need 1.6b for this as it fixed a bug regarding to nested copy/paste.

etc. on the fist step a pin is in the position one, on the next step - I need to push it deeper
Maybe there is a LDCad tutorial or anything else where I could learn, how to use buffer exchange? I even cant find it.. to low IQ
I found MLCad tutorial, and it looks like not what I'm looking for. It effect only the view? I need to move the pin on further(later) step, not on the current

Buffer exchange it not a LDCad specific feature, it is a collection of special LDraw meta lines.
Which basically let you take a 'picture' of the current model which can then be used to restore that situation some time later (removing anything added since the picture was taken).
This can be used to place a pin at two different locations in between steps. Downside is you have to re-add all other parts of that step too.
It is discussed in some more detail here:

Perhaps my tutorial on Buffer exchange can enlighten it too?
