Strictly speaking, $I_1$, $I_2$, and $I_3$ are the principal moments of inertia obtained by diagonalizing the inertia tensor and solving for its eigenvalues. The eigenvectors are the principal axes of the body. In this case, we are just assuming the principal axes are aligned with the space axes for simplicity.
