iASP's or anything like that alter that equation.

The Database name [for the *SYSBAS disk group] is established in the Relational DataBase Directory Entries (WRKRDBDIRE; ADDRDBDIRE); the name corresponds to the "*LOCAL" entry. Before the Independent ASP, the /the system/ was the effective Database; i.e. the database was able to access every library. Since then, there is a Database per iASP.

Because the design team loathed the idea of having the system ship with an undefined Database name, for which some configuration would be required to enable the database, the *LOCAL entry would be established implicitly with the System Name which also was implicitly established from the system Serial Number. The name for the database of each iASP is established from the special value *GEN [I believe on the ASP device description], thus the name is /generated/ if not explicitly defined; although I believe the /generated/ name is actually just the primary iASP name of a disk group, which is just the name of that device.
