Do some agencies go with the title 'Art Director' for ACD, or is it a totally different role? If yes, in what way is it different? My initial thought was that art directors probably had to have had a design/art background, but the postings never mention that.

Never seen that, only seen Sr. Art Directors and Sr. Copywriters bump up to ACD

Depends. In some tech/in-house places, titles are really weird. In my old tech in-house, Sr. Writer/AD were agency ACDs, Creative Lead was a CD, our ACD was a GCD, and our CD was basically a CCO.

It was so the creative title wouldn't compete with the CMO who would the manager of the CD/CCO.

Echoing F1. Mostly non-creative agencies are the ones who use a more vague term for ACD role. Art director is pretty much doing what ACDs do but in tech especially, they're expected to have a basic idea about design and product design.
