Hello.
Judging by the explanation in the document below, I think that tags are only copied to AMIs obtained by the lifecycle policy.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ami-policy.html
To copy all of the user-defined tags from the source instance to the AMIs created by the schedule, select Copy tags from source.
With "EBS snapshot policy", it is possible to tag snapshots.

With just "EBS-policy" the copy source tags will carry over the tags to snapshots. With EBS-backed-AMI life cycle policy, the volumes attached to the source instance create a snapshot. Even with copy from source option selected, the volume tags are not copied to corresponding snapshots. How can I use EBS-backed AMI policy to copy Instance and attached Volume tags to the AMI and snapshots created?
The "Copy tags from source" option in the EBS-backed AMI policy is an option that copies tags to the AMI, so I don't think it will be set in the snapshot created with the AMI. If you really want to set a tag on a snapshot, I think you would need a script to create a Lambda or something and set the tag on the snapshot when the AMI is created.
