How can i add the different buttons from my remote controller to homekit? Like the arrows, ok button, numbers, home button etc?

The plugin supports Remote from Control Center.

When you say it supports remote from Control center you mean that the keys for the remote wont show up in homekit, but in the dedicated Apple TV remote in control center?

Not possible to get it in the accessory in HomeKit?:)

Nope, in homekit you will not have controls for any TV. That's what Remote in Control Center is.

You could create separate switches for every button but ... why would you do that?

Home app is to control state of device. Remote is to interact with the device.
