Sometime, English demands for more precise description of the role. Support engineer is the most generic form. Depending on the scope of support, it can be "application" support engineer, "technical" support engineer, "operation" support engineer, etc.
It's not a common practice to incorporate the mode of support directly into the position. There could be some wordings like on-site support engineer, online support engineer, etc.
So, can't say telephone support engineer is right or wrong. However, it only indicates the mode of support, but not the scope.
