I mean "Aerial Attack", it's almost as bad a title as "Reaper Attack".

I think key art is usually named something simple and memorable for internal purposes. Then it's put in lots of places, but not usually referred to by name. I've also seen guidelines (not from Bethesda) about which piece of key art to use in which situations, and when, so there's probably incentive to make them dead simple to refer to in order to keep other vendors from making a mistake and blowing some marketing beat. Putting the art on lithos probably isn't forefront at the time, and so by the time we get here the name is just kind of stuck.... Just my guess, though.
Short answer: yes the studios usually dictate litho names....

I like the deeper cuts and the referential pieces better, personally.
I can tell you, though, the next Skyrim litho (which will be an open edition) is not on that page (but is something you've seen), and we got art today for the next-ish one after that which also isn't on that page (and I hadn't seen before--is a pretty cool image, but not sure the aspect ratio will work ultimately; still being worked out).
You're not far off in general, though. I don't know how final they are, but I've seen some samples in the office of probable future ESO lithos that you can find on this page:
