If I take sphere and remove two open disks from it and on the boundary of that space I make identification like on the picture, what do I get? Are both of those objects Klein's bottles?

A $2$-sphere with two disks removed is homeomorphic to a cylinder $I\times S^1$.

If I understand your picture correct you now want to identify the two boundary components of this cylinder. In the way it is pictured you get a Klein bottle.
