front matter and back matter
「前付（まえつけ）」and 「後付（あとづけ）」are printing terms meaning "front matter" and "back matter", respectively.
「前付（front matter)」is the generic term for pages that come before the body of text, and 「後付(back matter)」is the pages that come after the body of text.
Technically, "inside front cover" is included in the "front COVER", not "front MATTER" (same rule applies to "inside back cover"). "Front/back matter" can be multiple pages, whereas "inside front/ back cover", obviously, is one page.
Since "front/back matter" sounds kind of old and formal, I think you could also say "before/after the body of text" (don't quote me on this, though).
I hope this helps!

or perhaps they mean these additional paper "ribbons" across the cover?

inside front cover / inside back cover
Your translation is the best.
You can see all of magazines' "Advertising Rate Card" desctibes "inside front cover" and "inside back cover".
These are the terms used in press, so it sound more natural than inventing/guessing other words.
I'll put two examples of typical advertising rate cards.
