So, genuine question, does that mean this virus is yet to be named?

Yes. The virus is called SARS-COV2, and the disease it causes is called COVID-19.

"Novel coronavirus" was what it was called before receiving its official name. But, technically, that term would still be correct, as it is a novel coronavirus

I find it annoying that they just call it "corona" or "coronavirus" in Japan. A coronavirus is just a type of virus, to which the current SARS-CoV2 belongs.
