Hello Matthias,
The AX200 module seems to support AP mode it works with 2.4GHz Wifi 802.11n mode, I tested it. But maybe it could not support this mode in 802.11ax.
Please find in attach file the log of the iw list command launch on the Jetson Nano.
Best regards.

Hi
As far as i know the AX200 is not intended/can not be used as AP.
If you type "iw list" you should get a list of the capabilities of your
card.
On an ath9k based card this looks something like this:
valid interface combinations:
* #{ managed } <= 2048, #{ AP, mesh point } <= 8, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO
} <= 1, #{ IBSS } <= 1,
total <= 2048, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match, radar detect
widths: { 20 MHz (no HT), 20 MHz, 40 MHz }
