IMHO each of A-, B-, C-, D- and -formats are generic terms. So B-format is " the spherical harmonics stage in Ambisonics" regardless of channels present or what order they are in. As for (your) "HOA B-format", no criticism, but my take is that unless context implies/demands otherwise then 'an ambisonic file' (or 'ambisonic signal set') is implicitly B-format. (To be pedantic there is a reasonable presumption that it is B-format.). But, there must be much to be said for instructions to novices being explicit (if only once).
