Since in general relativity the curvature corresponds to the gravitational field, QFT in curved spacetime corresponds to a normal QFT with an external source (=the gravitational field).
For a curvature that depends on the time, we are dealing with a time varying source that can, for example, produce particles.
A proper analogy is a driven harmonic oscillator.
