If I have a custom sized tarp, is there any way for me to put a grommet where I need it, in a process similar to riveting for example?

A better roller frame may actually be the right solution. I used this roller to paint most of my house after giving up on the cheap ones. It does a pretty good job of sealing the ends so that paint doesn't get inside to the rotating components. It's also got bearings to help it roll smoothly.
Unfortunately, I've used it only with Behr interior eggshell paint, so I can't tell you how it will do with primer.
EDIT: Mike B. reports good results with primer for the same roller.
Officially that's a "fixture". A fixture is like a jig except that (officially) a jig guides a tool, while a fixture does not.
In the real world (unofficially) if you call that a jig, everyone will know what you're talking about.

YES, purchase (then practice a bit) with a grommet setting tool kit. manufacturers use automated machines for it, but this is the original "old school" way it was done.
