To become a registrar, you need to register with Traficom (the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency). They've got a section on their website devoted to domains[0] and another for registrars specifically[1]. The important bits are the Registrar's Guide[2] and the registration form[3]. Register as a private individual and leave the field where they ask if you want your contact info listed for consumers unchecked. Then, once they process the application and you're a registrar, never register domains for anyone but yourself. The bit about not needing to host or code anything was a reference to the fact that Traficom maintains a registrar web interface[4]. If you're a low volume registrar, which you should be since you're a registrar for yourself, the web interface is all you need. Now, couple of things I'm uncertain about: whether or not the registration process involves fees for non-citizens, and which payment methods they support besides SEPA transfers.
