Asbestos plaster

Yes its possible but you will only know for certain by getting it tested.
Dont panic, I worked with it for years and it didnt get me, but do get it tested.

What can I do before the test results, they won't be available until Tuesday and my whole room and half of the house are covered in dust

It's lime plaster.

I very much doubt its asbestos but if you must deal with it then you should

Close off the room if possible.

Get an FFP3 face mask, gloves and disposable overalls. Dampen down the area with a fine mist water spray and then collect the waste. You need to avoid disturbing it as much as possible.

Double bag the waste, overalls and gloves and set them aside for disposal once you have the test results. Shower immediately after.

Honestly I really think you are over thinking this.

Dont worry!

Bingo. It's used so rarely these days other than in historic and sympathetic house builds, one forgets it was ever used as the plastering/rendering material of choice.

They added asbestos for this material?

Highly unlikely but as you have previously been advised only a test will give you the peace of mind you seek.
