I think that's roughly similar to how it's done in American English (though Americans are probably less likely to have any idea how to type accented letters). A serious publication would write Yáñez but an average person would be pretty likely to just type "Yanez". Anyway, my point was just that it's not too weird to see someone write "Erdos" if their native language doesn't have the ő character.
