The first place I encountered gm-cm was in Schwabia.  Maybe your part of Germany is different.

They mean kgf just because it is more practical in most applications.

In a way it is the opposite of how Imperial units are used in the same situation where everything is in pounds force and the Imperial unit for mass, slugs, is ignored.
