I think you just need to look harder if you want to find good AMVs. I can agree there's a lot of shitty AMV out there, mostly on youtube. But that's because there's a lot of amateurs who like to edit simple AMVs. I can see than in Japan most the guys doing anime vids have some pretty sick compositing skills, but there are people like that here too.

Like you said, if it's made by Japanese I call it MAD, otherwise I call it AMV. Other than that I look into what kind of vid they are: mashups, trailers, music videos, parodies, etc.
