Does this mean certain death for the now oil rich lock cylinder (what is the part that the tumbler goes into officially called?)? Should I just replace it?

You've got two separate, unrelated issues.
The lock cylinder needs to be replaced immediately so that it doesn't get jammed and be unable to turn. If this happens, you're looking at $600. and/or a lot of heartache. So, get down to the dealer TODAY and order it.
The oil that penetrated the ignition switch probably won't do any damage to it, however, it it's excessive and creeps into the electrical portion of the switch, you may notice some problems. But, at the present time, assume the oil from the shutoff did not cause any issues with the switch. Just get that cylinder changed immediately. I can't stress this enough.
