Instead of a long winded reply, I am gonna ask one simple question:

If a non-Japanese AMV maker creates a very spectacular AMV and uploads it to Nico Nico, is it wrong for that person to label it as a MAD?

Want my short answer? I'll tell you later. The truth is: this is happening all the time. Likewise, the converse is also true, where MADs are found in YouTube and labeled as AMVs. Again, is this wrong?
