Generally I'd consider calling someone who identifies as bisexual a lesbian to be bi erasure since lesbian is generally understood to mean a woman attracted to women so it would be erasing the fact that they're attracted to other genders.

If saying that those women are attracted to women were bi erasure, it would be bi erasure to call them wives.

No, because lesbian is generally understood to mean a woman attracted to women. Alone. Wife is just a gendered term for spouse.
