You refer to these labels when you create an internal link (fuzzy, by
custom-id, or by id) to the headline. So the idea is that you don't have
to bother with label's name.

Unfortunately, there's one limitation for now: it isn't possible to
specify an overlay for the target. For example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+OPTIONS: H:1

* Frame 1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: frame1
  :END:

  #+ATTR_BEAMER: :overlay "+-"
  - item 1
  - item 2

* Frame 2

  [[*Frame 1][Link to first frame]]                     (1)

  [[#frame1][@@e-beamer:<2>@@Link to first frame]]       (2)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(1) will produce \hyperlink{sec-1}{Link to first frame}

(2) will produce \hyperlink<2>{sec-1}{Link to first frame}   (*)

At the moment, there's no way to produce:

  \hyperlink{sec-1<2>}{Link to first frame, second overlay}  (+)

I may swap the export-snippet usage in second case, if (*) is less
useful than (+).

Note that I hardly, if ever, use links in my presentations so
`org-e-beamer-link' is probably sub-optimal.

Considering the remark above, I'm don't think that's the best way to
handle the problem. On the other hand, "label" is an option and should
be treated as such (that is, an user should be able to provide its own
value for it). It is implemented now.
