You need an additional POST with the route :

http://YOUR_MAGENTO_ADDRESS/index.php/rest/V1/products/B201-SKU/media

The basic template JSON would be something like:

{
    "entry": {
        "media_type": "image",
        "label": "Image",
        "position": 1,
        "disabled": false,
        "types": [
            "image",
            "small_image",
            "thumbnail"
        ],
        "content": {
            "base64_encoded_data": YOU_NEED_YOUR_IMAGE_BASE64_ENCODED,
            "type": "image/png",
            "name": "choose_any_name.png"
        }
    }
}

After that your previously added product B201-SKU, will have the associated image.
