Airspeeds. Which ones do we care about?

Just a few general questions if you guys can just bare with me please.
Firstly, does indicated airspeed change with anything?
If we have wind shear for example, does the indicated a/s change?

Secondly, I believe when flying commercial, the aircraft speeds are already calculated AFTER wind` corrections, so that's why speeds like Vmcg, V1, etc are all indicated airspeed, is this true?

Once in cruise, it is the Ground Speed that matters to us?

What about calibrated a/s, true a/s?
Just some info from the more experienced please.

Thank you!
