No, <exiankyrios> is right. The taimonov is a combination of e6 and Qc7 and is often reached from the position you've shown. To continue, It "wouldn't" be a taimanov if black played -Qc7- and d6.
Is all good point though, 2...e6 is not the way to play to play the sveshinikov-simply because its a totally different (but very playable) opening.
2....e6 can lead to the sveshnikov but white doesnt have to allow it, the 2...e6 move order is used by some sveshnikov players to avoid certain lines for white but the problem is that white can avoid sveshnikov completely if he wishes.
