I'll need to double check, but I'm fairly sure Transformation and Hybrid/Composite have been refereed by different terms in the Japanese original. I can assure you, however, that Transformation literally translates to that. In the chapter that Aizawa first mentions Quirk types (15, if I'm not mistaken), 変形 is the word he uses - henkei, aka transformation.
