It shoulld be a common since i didnt see any mention of it needing pollination. I will post my result this year. the growth character (upright) and unilobar leafs show that you have a real hava/sultani/fayumi. How is your watering? overwatering?

Your Hava fig is too young(one year),to draw any conclusion so you have to grow it a couple more years to see if it keeps fruits on, till ripe without pollination. My opinion from experience: You got a Ficus Palmata, the leaves and fruits are identical with. It is grown in India and other tropical countries and yes it is pollinated by the fig wasp, and it makes very tasty fruits. US germaplasm ,has DFIC 23 , Ficus Palmata,identical to your tree,producing good fruits with pollination in California.

Salam ,
Thank you so much for the information about Hava Fig to @Elin and @Herman.
I will keep this fig variety to see its development growth , hopefully it could adapt well in our climate in Indonesia and produce fruit normally.
Once again thanks & Salam figs for peace and fun,,,

====================================
Thanks @Elin , your observation about "over-Watering " might be right , since almost 2months is a rainy season & high humidity in Jakarta /Indonesia.
Salam n have a nice weekend.

Regarding the ficus palmata or not- from what I saw is that the new wood is a red or purple one.
In zaitun pictures it is green I think.
Zaitun keep us posted.
