Why not?
When inserting the label in LyX, give it the name tab:mytable,
and then you can insert the prettyref. No need for ERT!

It seems that you expect to use labels without a prefix, (like MyTable),
and let lyx automatically generate the prefix (tab:) when generating the
latex file.
This is not done by LyX.
An interesting question is whether it is possible to write a smarter LaTeX
package, which doesn't need the prefixing the labels (i.e., the \label command
is redefined to output also the counter name to the auxiliary file) ?
