Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.

Yes, stars are fusion reactors.

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Initially it is hydrogen. When that is spent, stars move to fusion of helium. There are also other fusion processes which take place: which process depends on the stars' mass.

That's how stars get their energy.
