I reckon we're not too clear on the terminology here in the UK, either - at least I'm not.
Only ever heard of rumble strips, and tended to apply the term to roads where the surface has been treated so as to make it very noisy when you're driving faster than the recommended limit (on some motorway, too - not just slow roads).
However, thinking about it, rumble strip must be the white line that runs near the central reservation on some roads, with evenly-spaced little bumps built into it. This is especially common on fast roads, so is probably intended to alert you to the fact that you're drifting too close to the edge of the road.
That leaves me unaware of what you call the aforementioned "textured" roads or sections of road.
