How to get actual title of the device attached, the same as I can see in lsusb output?
There's no such titles in the kernel (in common case). There is a database file with titles for many pairs vendor_id
roduct_id, it's usually /usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids file. This database can be updated by /usr/sbin/update-usbids.sh. Thanks to guys from linux.org.ru for that info.

I don't know if there is some special tool for getting device title by pair vendor_id
roduct_id, so I had to hack a bit with lsusb and grep: for example, lsusb | grep '0458:003a'
I guess you can check in /proc from the script. Can you paste the script here what you are using with udev.

lsusb
lsusb(8) Linux USB Utilities lsusb(8)
NAME
lsusb - list USB devices
SYNOPSIS
lsusb [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
lsusb is a utility for displaying information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
OPTIONS
-v, --verbose
Tells lsusb to be verbose and display detailed information about the devices shown. This includes configuration descriptors for the
device's current speed. Class descriptors will be shown, when available, for USB device classes including hub, audio, HID, communi-
cations, and chipcard.
-s [[bus]:][devnum]
Show only devices in specified bus and/or devnum. Both ID's are given in decimal and may be omitted.
-d [vendor]:[product]
Show only devices with the specified vendor and product ID. Both ID's are given in hexadecimal.
-D device
Do not scan the /dev/bus/usb directory, instead display only information about the device whose device file is given. The device
file should be something like /dev/bus/usb/001/001. This option displays detailed information like the v option; you must be root
to do this.
-t Tells lsusb to dump the physical USB device hierarchy as a tree. This overrides the v option.
-V, --version
Print version information on standard output, then exit successfully.
RETURN VALUE
If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.
