The 'lips' portion of a women's genitals.

They cover the 'hole' into the vagina as well the clitoris (above the 'hole')

If you are looking at a women's genital area and nothing is being touched or moved out of the way; the lips portion (typically the only portion you can see visibly) is the labia.

There are many people who mistakenly call a women's genitals the 'vagina'. Technically the vagina only refers to the canal portion which is not actually visible without moving the labia out of the way and looking inside.

Do girls' inner labia come out when they are sexually excited?

The inner and outer labias plump up due to increased circulation when the women are sexually excited. As far as coming out in the sense that penises stick out when men are aroused, they don't. How far they stick out depends on the the size of both the majora (outer) and minora (inner). The inner labias are flappy when in an unaroused state, when aroused they fill up with blood and do have the tendency to be more prominent.
