>This limits you to .38ACP

FWIW, I don't think PPKs have ever been chambered for .38ACP; most PPKs these days are chambered in .380 Auto, though there are older variants chambered for .32ACP, a modern variant chambered for .22LR, and a few other oddball variants that use other cartridges.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't .380 Auto and .380 ACP the exact same round?

It looks like you are correct. But not to be confused with the .38 Auto![1]
