If you go to Word View/Toolbars menu, check Forms toolbar in the list. When you have Forms toolbar - the first button is "Text Form Field". Click on it and it will insert the grey empty field in your text. Then click on fourth button from the toolbar left - "Form Field Options", and enter the default text for this field (This text will be replaced with your variable value from the VFP). Under Field Settings there is a Bookmark. That is the field name in the FormField collection. You can replace it with your "jfb" name.

Then the line

oWord.activedocument.Formfields("jfb").result = "my test01"

will work.
