But the generated file still has the .mobi extension. Is it normal?
Yes, normal.

I mean is this mobi file still a KF8 file? How can I check if it is a standard mobi file or the new KF8 one?
The resulting file is not a "KF8" file, in the purest sense. It is a hybrid file containing a legacy MOBI (v7??) data section and a KF8 data section. The reading software/device decides which to view.
