There is always a FAF. If it's not indicated, it is the Final Descent Point (GS intercept).
Hi Lancer,

if it's not indicated, there is no FAF, there are several procedures built that way. You can check the DOC8168 - ARRIVAL AND APPROACH PROCEDURES - NPA WITHOUT FAF.
Now if we are talking about FAP it's a different story and yes it is the GS intercept.

If terminal chart doesn't contain FAF, it will be decelerated or early stabilized approach?
It will be an early stabilized approach but you have to ensure that your operator allows you to fly non-CDFA approaches like in the case of a NPA without FAF. Your picture though represent an ILS.
