Yep.
Cliffhanger or Foreshadowing...but the example is a bit too direct to really be foreshadowing which (at least to me) should be somewhat subtle.
I've always thought of "hook" in an marketing sense or book/chapter opening sense.
Hook the reader in the beginning to keep them on the line. Either as the first part of a chapter/novel or in a query letter or in an advertisement.
