Correct.

also, when i do this calculation using fixed cost, it works because cost column alrady takes fixed cost column into account.

Correct.

however when i made another cost column for another type of cost, say cost1, and said labor = cost -cost1, this time when i add something into cost1, labor cost decreased. because "cost" column wasnt taking cost1 into account

No. The field called Cost by project has no idea of the Cost1 field. The Cost1 field is a custom field that you can either enter data into or use to perform calculations.

and i had said labor = cost - cost1. how can i tell ms project that the cost column also needs to include cost1 column?

I have no idea what you have entered into your Cost1 field so I cannot tell if your labor costs are accurate. You cannot make the Cost field calculated based upon some other entries. It is defined by Microsoft and is:
Fixed Cost+ (Work * Standard Rate) for each resource + Material Costs + Cost resources.
So, if you have used material costs or cost resources they are also included in the cost field.
