AFM NAT vs LTM NAT

This feature seems to have creeped up somewhere in the 12.x release for AFM? Or maybe it's been there but I've never seen it...   https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip-afm/manuals/produc...

I will answer the 2nd part of the question. Having worked with both Public IP VS and Private IP VS, there really isn't a big difference from a Network/ADC perspective. Some applications may not work well with NAT and hence, may require Public IP VS. Most applications are compatible with NAT and you shouldn't see any difference in performance or functionality in both cases.
