Pro Tools Studio refers to the mid-tier software (previously just named
Pro Tools). That's not dependent on a perpetual or subscription license type.

If so, they should word it as such where older versions of PT with perpetual can now upgrade to subscription. (yea / no )

No, there isn't an 'upgrade to subscription' from a perpetual license. (We used to have a crossgrade that involved trading in a perpetual license for a discounted subscription, but that was discontinued last year.)
You own a perpetual license with an expired
Software Updates + Support Plan so you'll see a few options on the right side of your product in
my.avid.com/products... a 'Get Current' upgrade for $249US (which would provide a new perpetual license bundle) as well as 3 subscription offers (these would provide a new subscription license leaving your perpetual which would still authorize PT versions released up through your plan's expiration date). Note that upgrading from the product in your Avid account starts the clock on your plan, so if you intend on using/starting that later then you could instead buy the upgrade from a
reseller and redeem at
