You can't set the Acquisition Program directly.  Send a custom field and then set the AP in a Flow step.

I would also recommend using the Forms 2.0 API to submit the form, rather than the Munchkin API, even if you are using a totally custom form. That'll give you an actual ​Filled Out Form ​event and will supply the URL that hosts the form, so you can take more conditional actions without having to create extra custom fields.

Or on visit page, kick off the actions

Seems like too much hacking to customize forms fully and sometimes, you want an embedded form.

Sure, you can trigger on Visit Web Page with various conditions if that's applicable, but Marketo's URL parser is unsophisticated (read: nonexistent) and you didn't say where you were deriving the Acquisition Program from.

Not sure how that disagrees with my recommendation -- I'm talking about using a totally custom (non-Marketo, raw HTML) form but using the Forms 2.0 API to submit the data to Marketo.

When you use the Forms 2.0 API you always get the current URL sent as the Referrer, so you wouldn't need to look for the VWP event.
