I took 3 arv vaccine each with 4 days gap like in 0,4,8. I just took it for protection and not for any bite. So can we call it as prep vaccination??

According to the WHO and CDC guidelines the correct dose of vaccination for pre exposure prophylaxis is on 0,7, 21 or 28 days because it generates better immunity rather than just a four days gap. Also because you took all the doses within one week, i am not sure it is useful.
Next Steps
Visit nearest physician and anti rabies clinic to take vaccines on the mentioned dates.
