That "belt" is the ribbon of caulk that was squirted out of the tube like toothpaste to cover that gap. It goes on very easily and can be smoothed with a wet finger and then left to get rubbery.

See the first answerer for where to get it.

Probably some sort of silicone caulk.
Purchased usually in the paint department of the home improvement store, but make sure you get something that says tub & tile, kitchen & bath, (or words to that effect)
You will need to remove the old product before applying the new; try a single edge razor blade or possibly you can just pull it off. Apply a bead and then smooth it with a wet fingertip or rag.

The area you are talking about sounds like you have a 1 1/2" rubber molding in place. The adhesive you are talking about is called cove base adhesive. If it is just a small area it is called tub and tile caulking. Dap makes it. You can get this at your local hardware store or home depot/Lowe's. If it is the cove base go to home depot or Lowe's and you will find it in the flooring department.
