DOD(displacement on Demand) and AFM (active fuel management) are the same thing. They are when 4 of 8 cylinders are deactivated in order to acheive better fuel economy.

VVT is variable valve timing. When an actuator in the cam gear is used to advance or retard the camshaft.

That is the basic idea. There is alot more to each system as to specifics on how they work.

Just curios, can they both work with a manual? I only see (US) cars with automatics and these features.
