'Pisang Batu'= Musa balbisiana. This is a common wild species used for many non-fruit uses.
'Pisang Mas'= 'Nino' or 'Sucrier'. This is the "baby banana" in many grocery stores.

The rest of them are either not common in the US and don't have a well known trade name, or they are here and under those above, such as 'Pisang Raja' and 'Pisang Hijau' (if it's the same as 'Pisang Masak Hijau', which I think it is).

Banana names are not standardized, and there is a lot of diversity, so those names above may be all that you can find on them.
