Bei ohne Beachtung der Schriftform erfolgtem Geschäftsabschluß gilt unsere Bestellung als kauffmännisches Bestätigungsschreiben.

explanation


Explanation:
if there doesn't exist a written contract/agreement, the order confirms the existence of a contract/agreement.

You are right, only the 'Auftragsbestätigung' would be given by the company which received the order as an acknowledgement
