There's a difference when fluff starts to assert things that should be referenced because it becomes more than just fluff, it becomes claiming something that actually happened.

The problem with making up fake acronyms is that the games repeatedly use actual acronyms, like ISAF or OADF. Making something like AAL or URF becomes its own assertion that the games have used those acronyms at some point, which is why it counts as fanfiction to create them.
