> is the name of the target somehow dependant on the input parameters of the ostree_combine() call (i.e. same as Nix)?

Yes, that's right. The names of (almost) all the targets are auto-generated based on the inputs and the command to execute, although even if they weren't ninja would take care of that for us because it treats the command to execute as one of the inputs for the purposes of dirty detection.
