Well, cold air induction specifically uses a wall to separate the engine bay air, and the air flowing from the outside. So, the air coming into the engine bay either A, goes into the bay, or B, goes into the section with the intake, separated.

Rammed air "intake(?)" I have limited knowledge on, but banter has told me it is just a very short tube, usually with a cone or cone like filter. Allowing more air in, often warmer- especially if combined with grille blocking.
