That's easy, just pipe into awk:

Code:
/opt/aws/apitools/ec2/bin/ec2-describe-instances \
    --filter "instance-id=i-8d28b5eb" | \
    awk '/Name/ { print $NF }'
To check if it contains stg, just add another pipe to grep -c.

Code:
stg=$(/opt/aws/apitools/ec2/bin/ec2-describe-instances \
    --filter "instance-id=i-8d28b5eb" | \
    awk '/Name/ { print $NF }' | \
    grep -c 'stg')

if [ $stg -gt 0 ]; then
    echo "It contained stg."
else
    echo "No stg."
fi

Oh, no!
if you already caught that string you can check it in awk, do not use grep:
Code:
awk '/Name/ { print $NF; if ( index($NF, "stg") ) print "STG" }'
