Not out of the box.  
But maybe in some other way.  
You have for example the "/etc/hosts" file on Pi-hole where you can configure names to IP.  
Pi-hole reads this hosts file on startup.

But all devices connected through DHCP will still show up in my router's web UI, right?

No.  
Devices will only advertise their hostname to Pi-hole during the DHCP process.  
But why would you want those names to show on the router web GUI ?

Because I want to see how many devices are connected, how much bandwidth each is pulling, limit internet speeds on a device, from both the web UI and the ASUS Router app.

EDIT: Never mind, devices are showing up in the router's UI.

I cant think of anything to achieve that but maybe someone else does.

EDIT: our postings crossed again.  
Keep in mind if you changed DHCP settings/server, the clients need to renew their DHCP leases to recieve new configured settings etc.  
Disconnect & reconnect network or reboot them.
