No, it doesn't need to be renamed.  What you need to do is either:

(1) Grab the install.img from within the ISO image or from the download
site, and place it into an images/ directory at the same level as your
ISO images; or

(2) Boot from the boot.iso.

This is a change from F9, but it is described in the anaconda
documentation at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options

(I've also just updated that documentation to change stage2.img ->
install.img, which was a fairly recent change in anaconda).
