Why are the new profiles called “DNG camera profiles”? Can they only be used with DNG images?

The name “DNG camera profile” is used because (1) the underlying camera profile format comes from the DNG 1.2 specification and (2) these camera profiles can be embedded in DNG images. The name does not mean that these profiles can only be used to process DNG images. In fact, the new AS and CM profiles can be used to process both DNG and non-DNG images.
