You can add new stickers to the newly added tab by making them favourite from the WhatsApp UWP app. However, the stickers you’ve marked as favourite on the desktop app will not appear on your phone as syncing of favourite list between UWP and Android as well as iOS apps is not yet available.

WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp is working on bringing the ability to sync stickers between devices. It could be available through a future update.
