Tosk, not sure where you are from or what ethnic, but what you say matches
not at all Asia. 'Sticky rice' is an engrish term for rice that is easy to
pickup with chopsticks. Medium grain and no sugar is added.

Once you add other things, it gets a different name. What you described was
a vinegar-free sushi type or the basics for a sweet riceball (you hide
edible treats of fruit or sweet beans inside).
