"Exactly What It Says On The Tin" means when someone says X, and that thing they mentioned is literally X. For example, "Chultlhu Saves the World". A game about, guess what, Chutllhu saving the world. That's an example of that trope.

Never Trust A Trailer, meanwhile, refers to when a Title, while it makes sense, it's not particularly relevant or indicative of anything about the work (like "no cane in Citizen Kane"). In this case, the show is called RWBY, does not mean it will end with Team RWBY.

In fact, it's not even that trope. The RWBY in-universe stands for Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang. But the RWBY out of universe, the one in the title, stands for Red, White, Black, Yellow.

It's still a faithful title if the 4 girls keep being the main heroines, the main main characters. They don't need to become a team again however.
