I am not sure how does sharepoint online managed the versions for the documents inside document libraries? For example let say that i have a document with 50 pages and the document is on version 1, and i edit the document where i change a font color for a single word, and i save back the document, where the document version get updated from 1 to 2. then will sharepoint stores 2 full versions of the document? or it will only store the differences in the second version?

1Are you asking out of curiosity about how things work in the back end, or about storage quotas and billing?– Mike Smith - MCTNov 14, 2018 at 0:33

A web search for "SharePoint version shredding" will get you a lot of info. How Microsoft stores data on the back end of SharePoint online is not visible, or configurable, to us. I would assume that Office document shredding works like it does on-prem.
As far as size reporting, all versions report the full size of the document, regardless of how it is stored/shredded in the database.
