Correct, it’s not chewing tobacco, its dipping tobacco. Americans incorrectly call it “chew”, but that is an old colloquial expression. I’m just fascinated to learn that it is popular in Scandinavia.
It's kind of a dip tobacco but without the excess saliva you get from your "dip". It's also usually placed in the upper lip instead of the lower lip, like your rednecks do. Your "dip" has evolved from "snus" which came to your country with Swedish immigrants in the 19th century.
