The fourth element in the list must be a string.  So you cannot use a
function there.  (Perhaps RefTeX should support that.)

RefTeX allows specifying a function for formatting the reference by
setting `reftex-format-ref-function', see
(info "(reftex)Options (Referencing Labels)").  You could set this
function in a style file for refstyle.sty for example like this:

(defun my-reftex-format-ref-function (label format)
  (let* ((label-sep-pos (string-match ":" label))
         (prefix (substring label 0 label-sep-pos))
         (suffix (substring label (1+ label-sep-pos))))
    (format "\\%sref{%s}" prefix suffix)))

(set (make-local-variable 'reftex-format-ref-function)
     'my-reftex-format-ref-function)

I don't know refstyle.sty so you have to check if the logic in the
function above is working as well for other cases than the one you
presented.
