Your correct. That discribes a valve seal. Sometimes good after market ones are silicone and even have coil springs wrapped around them.
But.... if your engine did not have any, And your valves are good and snug in the guides , AND you are not expereincing and oil consumption..
Congratulations! Sounds like a good , tight , valve job.
If , after some miles, you find smoke on start up only, you can put seals on without removing the heads.
We ( Yankee Automotion, Mentor Ohio) built many a racing head in the early 70's that never had seals. Just knurled or tight bronze valve guides. Some very heavy valve springs, left No room for seals.
And they ran on and on with no oil use.
