GUI-Setup installs EFI?

I want to install Manjaro on an ampty SSD.
Bios : EFI on. secureboot off.

Will the Installer recognize the efi-mode and install the efi -Partition when i start from USB?

Hi and welcome,

If you boot in EFI mode, yes.

The wiki may be a useful resource for you.

To avoid any confusion - be sure to disable CSM (Legacy boot) in your firmware.

Also note that the $esp (EFI system partition) is intended to be shared among systems; meaning that no $esp will be created on disk2 but the existing $esp on disk1 will be used.

An easy way to check which mode your Live Session is booted in (and which it should use for the installation):

test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios

… Also, unless you use manual partitioning: When the system is booted in Legacy/BIOS mode, the installer will default to a MBR scheme.
