Choosing and flashing ROMs not developed for their specific device model might cause software problems with the device, and may also lead to soft/hard bricks. To further add to the confusion, a “custom ROM” does not refer to customized ROMs in general. That term specifically refers to ROMs that have been customized by third parties (i.e., not the manufacturers or carriers). For example, I’m running a custom ROM that is just a re-themed and tweaked stock ROM. CyanogenMod is another example, and it has many features built from the ground up rather than mere tweaks. Most AOSP ROMs you’ll find for a specific device are stock ROMs that have been customized to remove some of the manufacturer/carrier tweaks and make them closer to the pure AOSP experience. Generally, a phone with stock Android can see updates to the latest versions of Android quickly, because the phone’s manufacturer doesn’t need to make many software changes.

- A custom ROM replaces your device’s original Android operating system with a new version of the Android operating system.
