While it was a toyline originally, yes, all of the G4 Friendship is Magic toys are based off of the show, and not vice-versa. The show is the original source, so it takes precedence.

And yes, while a few of the changes to names have generally been accepted by the fandom (Lyra Heartstrings in particular, though iirc she was never just "Lyra" in any merchandise, always either "Heartstrings" or "Lyra Heartstrings") I'd just like to point out that most other merchandise (and the show) doesn't seem to refer to the first party toys for names. (The continued persistance of merchandise using "Bon Bon" instead of "Sweetie Drops",  the surname "Lulamoon" never showing up again)

Even though this technically takes precedence until a time that the show overrides it, it's actually rather likely that 2nd party merch will continue to just use "Octavia" and "Twist", as the additions to the names in first party merch are most likely to simply allow them to trademark the toy names.
