Because of your legal Finnish marriage you have right on child support for your son.
But you have to enforce it yourself.
Since you do not live in Finland you cannot get any free legal help from there.
And Finland cannot force somebody living in Chile to pay.
You have to go through the legal system in Ecuador or Chile to get the money.

Does he have access to the kid? I mean does he ever get to see him?

lease some body who can guide me that my son has rights over the goods purchased
Rights over property you two owned belongs (possibly, depending on situation) to you, not your son. Did you have a prenuptial agreement?

(Child support is then a separate issue, as is possible alimony (rare in Finland), possible competing jurisdictions obviously make the situation complex)

First of all, he is a child of both of you. Hence, it would be better if you and your husband have a written agreement in place on child custody. Based on your statement, it seems to be a verbal agreement where you will have the child custody and he pays the child support. Such verbal agreement can make things very complicated at later stage if/when things go sour between you two.

off topic, I find this 'my child' 'my child' attitudes in mothers ridiculous.

Still a couple of questions: A) did you have prenuptial agreement
B) Do you think he still has property remaining in Finland?

I was thinking that some finnish goverment department could help me from here, cause I can not go there,
Do not count on official help. Since you already have options (lawyer) officials won't do the work for you. You can exercise your rights in Finland, but you have to take the initiative yourself.
You can go to court, and if you win, Finland will not take legal action against him in Chile. With the Finnish decision you'll have to go to court in Chile again.
And those court cases will take time (even years) in the mean time your ex might consider your behavior "not nice" and cut of the financial aid completely.
Besides, going to court might even cost more than he owns you.
