$METIS TEST token is the test-METIS used on Stardust to pay for transaction fees (abbreviated as "METIS") and, consequently, to deploy a DAO, in the same way, that test-ETH is used on Rinkeby.
Please note that the symbol of the test-METIS is "METIS", the same as for the mainnet-METIS.

You will need to import the Metis token. Click on the Import Token option on Metamask and copy-paste the Metis token address 0xe552fb52a4f19e44ef5a967632dbc320b0820639. You will then see your Metis token balance.
