In a broader sense, yes, they are antonyms.
But as a special kind of antonyms they can be called conversive antonyms, see 
for ex.

This term is not so much mentioned in the English part of the Internet, but it 
is quite customary in Russian semantics ("konversivy") where it goes back to 
works of the 1970s by Igor Mel'čuk and Yuri Apresyan.

  Dear Hung,
  I think I would use "antonym".

    Dear All,

    I could not find the -onym word for naming the verb, acting in the opposite 
direction to another verb.
    Examples:
    - give and get
    - send and receive
    - like (English) and нравиться (Russian)

    Please tell me if you know (or create one?)

    Best Regards,
    Hung
