Well. I think that it would fall under Earthbending, because, no matter what you do to it, it is still ROCK. Which is earth. But you would need Firebending as well if you desired to create lava from solid earth. Which would only be plausible from an avatar in the avatar state. But,. It can be assumed that if an earthbender found already present lava, and had studied Waterbenders, they could effectively bend it. This is only speculation, of course.
