If the USB modem is seen as an Ethernet device
No it's not.
And about ICS let me say that I have another pc with two NIC instead of my laptop and connect the USB modem, do you mean that I can share the internet with one of Ethernet acting as external network and after that make a bridge with the other Ethernet acting as internal network?

<USB modem> - <PC with BM and ICS> - <Switch and/or Access Point>
In this case, the switch/AP would be connected to an Ethernet NIC. The Internet is available to anything connected to the switch/AP, while Bandwidth Manager filters all communications between those devices and the modem.

So regarding a filter example, it could be something like this:
Direction: Both
Protocol: IPv4 based
Rate limit: 100000
Source: 192.188.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (your LAN range)
Destination: Any
Interface: LAN
Though I'd like to stress it again: rules should be created after the Internet access is already available to the LAN devices.

USB Modem> PC with Connectify Max> Ethernet> Cable 5e> TP-Link AP Mode> Client device
Now every device connected to the AP has internet access, but the problem is when I installed SPBM and make the rule above can't control the traffic. Is there any rule or specific configuration to make this work?
Thanks

Second, create a rule like this:
Direction: Both
Protocol: Any
Rate limit: 100000
Source: Any
Destination: Any
Interface: LAN
Test if the rule has any traffic flowing through it. If it does, you can then proceed with defining bandwidth restrictions for your clients. If it doesn't, probably Connectify captures traffic before it reaches BM, in which case I am afraid there may be no solution.
