About the naming, yes, what you describe is exactly called first and second endings. In notation, the first ending has a repeat sign at the end. You jump back to the first repeat sign that BIAB calls Bar at Beginning of Chorus or something like that - the first number AudioTrack flagged. The second ending has a double bar line at the end but no repeat sign, so you keep playing into the next part of the song.

In BIAB I normally do not try to do this song structure; I duplicate the measures and play one longer song form.

You might also be thinking of a Coda, as in, during the last time through the song, jump to the Coda to play an ending section. I use the Tag function in BIAB for those.
