Thanks for your reply. But the method you suggested didnt work at all.

when I did this:

      'posts_per_page'=> 2, //Added 2 instead of 1
    );
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    if ( 2 == $the_query->post_count ) { // two identical posts
      $content .= "[custom-trick id={$the_query->posts[1]->ID}]";

//index = 1

this seems to be working, what you think?

lets see, I am trying now, stay tuned!

Ok, so I will add this to my existing code?
LIke:

function update_post_content( $ID, $post ) {
    if (get_post_meta($ID, "first_time_published", false)) {
        return;
    }
      $my_post = array(
          'ID'           => $ID,
          'post_content' => "[custom-trick id=$ID]",
      );
    update_post_meta($ID, "first_time_published", true);
      wp_update_post($my_post);

$args = array(
  'title'=> $post->post_title,
  'post_type'=>'my_post_type',
  'posts_per_page'=> 1,
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( 1 == $the_query->post_count ) {
  $content .= "[custom-trick id={$the_query->posts[0]->ID}]";
}

}
add_action( 'publish_custom-trick', 'update_post_content', 10, 2 );

if you can show me an example code.
