It could be either.
उसका is for things further away. इसका is for something close.
Compare them to वह and यह.
'Uska kya naam hai' is perfectly fine in colloquial spoken Hindi.
However, in formal Hindi, 'kya' should be placed right before a verb when it means 'what'.
Non-standard word orders like 'Uska kya naam hai' are used in spoken Hindi, often with an appropriate inflexion of speech, to communicate subtle shades of meaning.
Well Duolingo is not for getting a degree in literature. If a sentence is used in everyday spoken Hindi, it should not be considered wrong. Maybe a warning can be given, like when you misspell a word. I speak the language (but am here to learn to read and write), and have seen more people use the sentence the way I had it then the one otherwise.
