You can execute remote commands using ssh/rsh. If the names
stay the same then you can add the rename commands to a script
file being executed after the rsync run.

Why not exclude 2_ASSETS from the first run, and then do a second run to
rsync the _contents_ of 2_ASSETS to the target 01_us_eng directory?

Add /01_us_eng/2_ASSETS/ to the exclude.txt file.

rsync -rvz --exclude-from=exclude.txt source destination
rsync -rvz source/01_us_eng/2_ASSETS/ destination/01_us_eng/

(perhaps add some variation of the exclude.txt file if you're excluding
stuff under the 2_ASSETS directory)

You can't use rsync to perform remote rename operations, which is what
you're essentially asking for.
