What is the plastic ring with ball bearings in it that goes between the inner and outer race called and do I need to replace it also when I do the wheel bearing?

Yeah, that whole assembly is the bearing. It consists of an inner and outer race, and the actual bearing itself. They always have those three pieces, at least on cars. Replace that and the dust seals on the front, and the rears should be fairly similar. Sometimes if you're lucky, some bearing assemblies bolt on to the hub with three bolts, not sure about the FWD DSM's, never worked on the rear axle of one.
