According to our architect, we should only apply the horizontal waterproofing of the foundation slab inside the house.
We have already done this on the ground floor inside the house. However, I am wondering whether we should also do it in the directly adjacent garage?
In the garage, we will have approximately 18cm (7 inches) of screed with a slope on top of 10cm (4 inches).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a bituminous membrane (such as Katja or Erika) in the garage, and how have you handled this in your own houses?

This actually results in a step leading to the utility room.
In this case, an insulation layer is not a solution. You are merely shifting the height difference problem towards the garage entrance. For you, climbing the step will probably not be an issue.
For your car, possibly yes... (just joking).
If the garage and the house were designed as a single unit, the height issue raises the suspicion of a local planning error!
However, it is not that unusual to intentionally include such a step between a carport and a house.
With an enclosed (meaning: protected from weather) garage, on the other hand, it is not typical.
