Yes, RAW is usually used to mean the actual raw food (usually prey model or franken prey) diet versus just the word raw...so saying a raw diet could mean raw food but RAW implies that you are doing raw meat, bones, organs, etc.
Back before it was commonly known it really helped differentiate and explain what you were talking about. Now that it is pretty well known its not needed as much, but still done by habit. Sometimes I type RAW, sometimes I type raw.

Q: What does Lady Gaga feed her dogs?
A: Rawww rawww RAW RAW RAWWW!
Okay, all silliness aside, I feed raw (RAW?? RAWWWW! *beats chest*) too. Mostly a beef mix, but they also get other yummies mixed in - chicken necks/wings/backs, eggs, and soon we'll be adding raw goats milk, a ground poultry mix with organs, and ground whole goat. Mealtime is EXCITING around here!
... still looking for an affordable source of pancreas, so I can switch Revy over to raw as well.
As for amounts....
Kaylee (63lbs) - 24oz/day
Jayne (80lbs) - 35oz/day
Talla (26lbs) - 15oz/day
... but I believe Rocket eats 60oz/day, and he's an 80lb intact male Doberman. Not uncommon.... intact male dobes seem to have the caloric intake requirements of Michael Phelps.

I feed half raw (pork/bison/beef/rabbit) and half kibble (Canine Caviar GF Herring).
Frodo can't do premade like Nature's Variety/Stella and Chewys/Primal, I think it probably comes down to some veggies that don't agree with him.
So the only store bought premade we do is Bravo beef. Other than that we go to a local pet food deli that grinds muscle meat/bones/organs only. I would love to do prey model/frankenprey again, but I no longer have an easily accessible freezer for bulk (it lives with Megan for now
) and beef/bison/rabbit/pork gets way more expensive than chicken with some variation here and there.
I can afford to do the ground pet food deli style because he eats a whopping 10-12 pounds a month if he is doing 100% RAAAAAAAAAAAWr. But with half raw I only need to buy one, 5 pound tub a month.
I never say RAW, lol, I've always just used raw.

Well, by math....
Kaylee: roughly 45lbs/month ($17)
Jayne: roughly 65lbs/month ($25)
Talla: roughly 28lbs/month ($11)
That's JUST our beef mix which includes bone, muscle, organ and tripe. In addition to that, they all get 1-3 chicken feet per day, maybe a few chicken necks, maybe a couple chicken wings. Talla usually has a couple wings or a back, in addition to her beef mix. They all get 2-4 eggs a day, in addition. All our chicken (ground, wings, backs, feet) is 50 cents/lb, our eggs are $1.50/dozen, and our goats milk is $5/gallon. *shrug*
