Yes, the benefits of being so globalized that even tv shows in Japan can be picked up by people in every part of the world immediately after airing or even live is more people will have heard the japanese terms and names for the characters first before it gets dubbed in other countries.
At least now there's a bigger chance for this distinction to be hammered into people's minds, so we are not going to deal so much with people calling him Black Goku, when the name is Goku Black, much like Vegeta-Baby is mostly known as Baby Vegeta outside of asian countries.
Of course the fact that we still have to wait a little less than 3 weeks for the Arc to premiere may mean, that people have got so used to Black Goku, that they don't want to change anyways, but I hope that won't be the case.
