I just did a water change and had to clean some goo off the filter sponges
and I cleaned it off with my wet tank water hands, but I didnt wet the sponges.
Will the bacteria still be alive?

You should be fine with it as your spongess were wet to begin with.You may want to try swishing it around in your old tank water next time though,squishing,& squeezing the sponge in it.You may be shocked at just how much more "Muck" you'll get out of it,and how much better your tank will look!
