also..i dont think that we have a machine like rice steamer over here. we simply boil the water and drop a package of rice in it...so, is there a difference?

yea..thats it .. i think
A japanese rice cooker heats the rice and water up at the same time so it's a little different from what you have.

The rice for onigiri should be short-grain rice, but not glutinous. You'll have to check the packaging I'm afraid as I can't tell from your description what it is. There are indeed, lots of types of Japanese rice!
