These gyri are features of the temporal lobe on the brain’s lateral surface. The anterior superior temporal gyrus and the middle temporal gyrus define a region within that lobe, so the most direct match to “which region corresponds to the anterior superior and middle temporal gyri” is the region that names them—the anterior superior temporal gyrus and middle temporal gyrus themselves. The angular gyrus sits in the inferior parietal lobule, not the temporal lobe, and labeling the entire left or right temporal lobe is less precise than pointing to the specific gyri in question.
