I recently bought the 2022 iPad Air, and since it has a Type-C charging port, and comes with the type-C to type-C charging cable, is it fine to use it to transfer files between my android mobile phone and my iPad? The phone also has the type-C port.
You’ll not be able to directly access your iPad encrypted filesystem from an Android device connected via a USB cable.
If you wish to transfer files and data with any non-Apple computer, the are three relatively simple and accessible methods:
1) Use iCloud to make files and data accessible to other computers. From your Android device, using any web browser, sign-in to your iCloud account:
From here you will be able to access many aspects of your iCloud services - and files/photos that you have stored/shared via your iCloud account.
2) You might consider transferring data using an intermediate USB storage device - such as a thumb-drive.
Depending upon your iPad model, you may need an appropriate adapter to connect your USB storage to your iPad. If your iPad has a Lightning connector, you will require an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter:

3) You can also install a third-party File Manager App on your iPad that incorporates an SMB File Server - that can be accessed by other devices over a WiFi connection.
One App that comes readily to mind is FileBrowser Professional by Stratospherix:

You would be well advised to review the extensive online Manual and help files to determine suitability for your needs.

not unless you find some app that specifically states to support just that and install it on both devices.
Transferring files between iPad and Android.
