I have a couple of copies of this, including a sealed 'promo' copy. My understanding as well is just that it was an early copy, with the hype sticker to advertise what it was, given there really wasn't a title on the front of the album artwork.
So, and not that you're asking, but little 'extra' value just because of the sticker.

Another thing is my original pressing of this LP uses the "guitar intro" Time Is ON MY Side while the 90s(??) LONDON Red Label (remastered from original tapes)..before the ABKCO Red Label release uses the "organ intro" version that appears on "12x5"...that's a bit irritating..

That's funny. I only know the hot rocks version and never knew there was an organ intro to that song.

Sorry man...sometimes threads just run their course. Your topic was pretty narrow, "the hype sticker on Hot Rocks...what's the story was behind it".
I mean it's obviously on there to promote the album. They must have been concerned that know one would know at a glance that it was even a stones album when it was first released. With the strained relationship ABKCO had with the band at that time, they sure weren't going to get support from the Stones in selling it so they made what was probably a good decision in including that sticker.
Of course now the album cover is practically iconic so it's probably not necessary.

Seems to be some BEGGARS BANQUET photo sessions that were options but not used.
