I’m trying to identify the removable ribbons/straps with Velcro that are sometimes used inside camera bags to hold lenses in place between the padded dividers. What are they usually called, and what should I search for if I want to buy some separately?

It’s just Velcro, and completely unnecessary Velcro. I’ve had that exact pack fully loaded without the straps and have never had an issue.
But, if you insist, just get some bulk Velcro and cut to size: 16 Feet Length 0.75 Inch Width Hook and Loop with Strong Self Adhesive Tape Strip Fastener (White) (Amazon.com)

They’re generally just called Velcro straps or hook-and-loop straps for camera bags. There usually isn’t a special lens-specific name.
If you want to add them to a bag, the simplest option is to buy bulk hook-and-loop (Velcro) tape/straps and cut it to the length you need. In many camera bags these straps are optional rather than essential, since padded dividers often hold lenses securely on their own.
