Correct, but less brands are using this odd 355er rim size, as far as I know are these only:
1. Birdy
2. Strida
3. Iruka
and a few rare children bikes or recumbents, occasionally some BMX bikes or monowheels.
Schwalbe Marathon, size 35-355 (18 x 1,35), was discontinued by Schwalbe already several years ago.
But Schwalbe Marathon Racer in 40-355 (18 x 1,50) and Schwalbe Marathon in 44-355 (18 x 1,65) are still available!
Innova 32-355 is the standard Strida 18" tyre ->

At the Iruka page

you'll find another 18" tyre in size 18 x 1,5 (most likely is that 40-355 ETRTO), the brand is GMD (Gumonder) and the type G701

just, I couldn't find a source in your area.
You wrote there is room; maybe you could use tyres up to 1,75 width, such an alternative might be this one:
