De jure drift only occurs at the duchy level, so no, you can't "officially" add another county as de jure part of your existing duchy, unless you mod landed_titles file. But if you're a duke (without kingdom or empire title and especially if you're independent), then simply controlling that county or being that county's liege would practically make it part of your primary duchy, even if that county is not de jure.
When you do create a kingdom title later on, and that county's de jure duchy still doesn't exist or doesn't control said county, then the game may consider that county part of your current duchy if you ever decide to hand out this ducal title, even if that county still isn't de jure part of the duchy.

So it is not possible to create duchies from counties i have under my control. For example i have 5 counties and I would like to create 2 duchies. I am not allowed to create them and decide which county will be part of which duchy?

the counties are already in duchies, which you can see in the duchy map mode. Chances are those 5 counties in your example are already spread out among at least two duchies
You can then create or usurp the duchy titles: you'll see an alert for that at the top of your screen. You might also be able to plot to fabricate a claim on some of those titles as well depending on your circumstances, which you'll see if you can in your subterfuge plotting window
Any counts will be your vassals, part of the primary duchy title you hold. If you die and your titles are split among your heirs then those counts belonging to your non primary duchy, again you can see this in the duchy map mode, will then be vassals of the heir that inherited that other duchy....
Hope that makes sense

So what can I do if one of my vassals is holding a county which is de jure county of my duchy? Can I assign this county to my duchy by any chance?
No you can't assign a county to a duchy. That's not a thing. You can plot to take the county from him, or just revoke it

You actually CAN decide which county is ruled by which duchy and assign arbitrarily, but without modding, you can NEVER change which county is de jure part of a duchy. For example, I can grant my son County of Paris, Kiev, of Mecca and then grand him Duchy of Jerusalem. Duchy of Jerusalem would now consist of Paris, Kiev, and Mecca, even if they're continents apart. However, Paris, Kiev and Mecca will NEVER EVER become de jure part of the Duchy of Jerusalem... and your son, as the Duke of Jerusalem, will still want control of the actual de jure counties of Jerusalem (Counties of Jerusalem, Acre, and Hebron) and will dislike whoever owns or controls those counties.
The optimal way to safely reassign counties under duchies is to never create the original de jure duchy in the first place and make sure no one else can create it. If no one has Duchy of Austria, then you can safely divide up the five de jure counties under Duchy of Austria to another duchy, and no one would have feelings hurt.
Then just revoke it by plot or diplomatic interaction.

Or you could murder every last one of his relatives and then murder that count. Then you'll inherit that county.
That's the fun way of doing it.
