Yes, filename-date-format is indeed another registry key. It takes an 
abbreviated name for one of the formats supported by gnucash. From the 
description of the parameter:

This setting chooses the way dates are used in the filename of PDF 
export. Possible values for this setting are "locale" to use the system 
locale setting, "ce" for Continental Europe style dates, "iso" for ISO 
8601 standard dates , "uk" for United Kingdom style dates, and "us" for 
United States style dates.

The year-month-day format you want is 'iso'.
