Question

This tool work very fine but exist a tool that import also multiple objs in separate collections, each for every single file?

Thanks.

Download the add-on for Blender 2.92+ from How to batch import Wavefront OBJ files? and replace its execute method (starting at line 160) by the following lines of code:

    def execute(self, context):
        # get the folder
        folder = (os.path.dirname(self.filepath))
        # get the collection
        main_coll = context.scene.collection
    # iterate through the selected files
    for i in self.files:
        # create collection based on filename
        coll = bpy.data.collections.new(i.name.rsplit(".", 1)[0])
        main_coll.children.link(coll)
        layer_coll = context.view_layer.layer_collection.children.get(coll.name)
        context.view_layer.active_layer_collection = layer_coll

        # generate full path to file
        path_to_file = os.path.join(folder, i.name)

        # call obj operator and assign ui values                  
        bpy.ops.import_scene.obj(
                            filepath = path_to_file,
                            axis_forward = self.axis_forward_setting,
                            axis_up = self.axis_up_setting, 
                            use_edges = self.edges_setting,
                            use_smooth_groups = self.smooth_groups_setting, 
                            use_split_objects = self.split_objects_setting,
                            use_split_groups = self.split_groups_setting,
                            use_groups_as_vgroups = self.groups_as_vgroups_setting,
                            use_image_search = self.image_search_setting,
                            split_mode = self.split_mode_setting,
                            global_clamp_size = self.clamp_size_setting) 
    return {'FINISHED'}

Result (one collection per file):
