Calling it a "single use upload url" would probably be a lot clearer. Describe the purpose, not the mechanism...

It sure sounds like it. I'm not sure how much of AWS could be clarified by better names, but I suspect it's a lot.

Single use upload URL isn't the only use case for pre-signed URLs though. They are more commonly used for quick-expiring downloads for example.
