The name Salman was an alias he used to avoid the FBI.

Usually, we would not use an "alibi" as an excuse for being late, but as a reason to escape some harsh punishment for a criminal act. Still, your example is OK.

Normally, an author or poet would use a "pen name." The word alias is usually used to actually HIDE one's true identity, possibly for fear of having one's identity found out.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE
Alias
After searching on Internet, it looks like the only alias I had on planet earth died 10 years ago in United Kingdom.
Alibi
I try to not write many information in my Messenger Chat, because I don't want to be traced while I make stories to build up an alibi for my secret lovers.
Alienate
My boyfriend zones out quite often, alienating himself from the world around, which makes it hard to understand what he's really thinking.

For your first example, it seems as if you believe the meaning to be "another person with your name." If that's so, your understanding is slightly off.
Still, when I read your sentence, I can understand what you are trying to say. So, you get an A+ for effort and creativity.
