...I'm not 100% sure. Normally you would lock the mod element and manually add the NBT tag for the potion, but I'm not sure if water bottles have a custom NBT tag. You could try checking the registry name instead of the display name to avoid problems with localization or custom named items? Maybe?

I don't know how to assign potion effects to code, but I know how to assign them to loot tables. You could make a loot table that gives a water bottle, (or potion with a specific effect), and then use a /loot give command to apply that loot table to a container or inventory.

To apply a potion effect to a potion item in a loot table, lock the mod element and replace the potion entry with this. You can find the specific registry names on the wiki.

{
          "type": "minecraft:item",
          "name": "minecraft:potion",
          "weight": 1,
          "functions": [
            {
              "function": "set_count",
              "count": {
                "min": 1,
                "max": 1
              }
            },
            {
              "function": "set_nbt",
              "tag": "{Potion:\"minecraft:regeneration\"}"
            }
          ]
        },
