I assume that when it says Tier 3 or 4 poison that one can not make those poison until they are at that tier just like every other item that is tiered? Will there ever be Tier 2 poisons? For that matter will there ever bee anymore poisons besides the couple mentioned?
When having the Apprentice of the Masters Background and taking Artisan (Alchemy / Specialty Prepare Material Medica) what kind of Heirlooms would be available? Do I just get to pick any ol'heirloom because it's not like I am simple Blacksmith who is wielding an awesome fighting ax that some caravan guard never picked up.

) The items that I would make are all consumables so it is kind hard to make exceptional quality aloe. I
I have an idea I get to start out with some Tier four poisons already secretly tucked away in my Medica kit.
I don't think any of these talents give you the ability to make poison in the game right now. Currently, taking those talents and associated skills gives you the ability to make poisons if you have the right raw materials, but where do you get the materials? I don't believe there is a mechanic right now for being able to get the materials you need to make poisons, even if your character has all the equipment and knowledge to make and use poison.
As for the heirloom, I think you are tier limited. I don't believe a tier 1 character can get/use tier IV poisons, and even if you could it would only get you a single dose. I think a much more reasonable use of the heirloom talent would be to inherit a high quality poison lab, which would give you the exceptional item bonus on your attempts to make poison... whenever you found in game access to the appropriate materials.
