It seems this is coming, at least in part, from this comment:
Well, tor-* was a proposal to disambiguate a short name. I don't particularly care what the prefix would be.

So, no, not all packages need the tor- prefix, but because "sbws" is a simple, short name they're future-proofing against a collision.
It looks like the "tor-" convention already exists in Debian, so I'd be in favor of following it.
For instance, these came up from `apt list` in Debian stretch: tor tor-arm tor-dbg tor-dbgsym tor-geoipdb torchat torsocks
